Elliot turned two months old today! He's changed a lot in the past few weeks, smiling more and cooing when you talk to him. He's a sweet happy little boy, pretty calm it seems. For as crazy as our house is, he has a pretty even temperament so far.

Elliot - Two months old
Elliot turned two months old today! He's changed a lot in the past few weeks, smiling more and cooing when you talk to him. He's a sweet happy little boy, pretty calm it seems. For as crazy as our house is, he has a pretty even temperament so far.
Book Club - "The Next Thing On My List" by Jill Smolinski
Excellent fun read. June meets Marissa at a Weight Watchers meeting and offers to drive her home afterwards. They get in a bad car accident in which Marissa is killed. June finds a list in her purse titled, 20 things to do before I turn 25. So distraut by the death of Marissa a total stranger and to get over her guilty conscience, June commits to complete the list for Marissa.
So, our book club assignment was to list 5 things we'd like to do in the next five years....I'm still working on my list. But, so far this is what I have...
1. Take a boxing class. Sounds strange, but I have my reasons. A real boxing class, not just at a regular gym, but I'd really like to box.
2. Take a dance class. I'm pretty self conscious about dancing after kids. I officially feel old and not cool!
3. That's it. I'm still working on the last three. I"ll update later.
The book's great. I recommend it for sure!

I've been tagged
Kelly tagged me on her blog to complete this meme.
Three things....
...THAT SCARE ME: something happening to my family, spiders and running out of time.
...I LOVE: time spent with my family, getting a massage and exercise (something I rarely do these days.)
...I HATE: not having enough energy, when my kids whine and that there aren't more drive-thru coffee places near my house.
...I'M DOING RIGHT NOW: typing this meme, reading chosen and cherished (haven't started the book club book yet), and painting our new house.
...I CAN DO: listen well, run and type
...I CAN'T DO: watch scary movies, i'm not that good in the garden but would like to get better. i plan to actually grow vegetables in our new yard. thirdly, drink white milk plain, meaning not in cereal or something.
...THAT ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FOODS: this is tough, not really a picky eater. three things that come to mind are chinese, scones and peaches...ooh and strawberry rhubarb pie - i know that makes four!
...SHOWS I WATCHED WHEN I WAS A KID: who's the boss, the wonder years, saved by the bell

All the boys
Jeremy went to a wedding over the weekend in Albany NY. My cousin Matt got married and since Elliot's so young, Jeremy went by himself . My sister in laws also stayed home so it was just the guys along with my parents from the Williams fam. They had a great time and from everything I heard, it was a fantastic wedding....I'm definitely a bit jealous that I couldn't go, but am glad they were all able to spend some time together and of course see a lot of family that we don't see very often.
One highlight from the reception....my brothers took a breakdancing class as kids and my Aunt Sharon remembered this. She brought a large piece of cardboard out onto the dance floor and they were asked to show off some moves. My younger brother Matt spun Joe around on his back. Wish I could have seen it.
