Toby took this without my knowing and I love it. How come it’s always the pictures taken without my knowing I enjoy the most? Probably because I stick my tongue out or make an ugly face when I know someone is taking my picture. Anyway…

My father took this of the boys while we were visiting. It sums up how Emory feels about Elliot. Emory adores his little brother. And Elliot definitely likes Emory the best. No matter what, he smiles for his big brother.

In the last couple of weeks, Elliot has started laughing a lot. And it’s just wonderful. Here’s the first video I got of Elliot and Emory laughing together.

Emory was given a bike by my parent’s neighbor, so he’s been riding a lot. We went to McCarren a few days ago and got caught in the rain. So we tree-hopped to avoid getting soaked. It was an amazing moment for me. The smells and sounds brought me back to my childhood; I was right there again! But I was surrounded by my own offspring. It was a moment I will never forget. Anyway, I took a bunch of pictures as the rain fell. Here is one of them.
