Anders turned 1!

It seems like the past year has flown by so fast I can hardly keep up. Anders had his first birthday on Tuesday. 

Image
He loved his birthday donuts. He's just such a happy little guy. It doesn't take much to make him smile. 
Image
Everybody likes donuts. :)
Image

Andrew enjoyed pizza for his birthday dinner. And the big boys made his smash cake. 
Image
He wasn't sure what to do with it at first. But he figured it out pretty quickly. 
Image

The table had chocolate frosting everywhere so he we gave him his gifts in the family room. He opened presents and then had a bath.

In pjs, ready for bed.  A fun birthday for the baby boy.

Goodbye braces!

After a year in braces, Joshua was ecstatic to have them removed. He was a little bummed when he found out about having to wear a retainer. He said it felt great though and kept licking his teeth. And because he had a scout camp out, he got to wait one more night before he starts his "home only" retainers. 

Image

They gave him a bag of the formerly forbidden caramel popcorn. Yum! What a great smile!  I can hardly believe he will be 12 in just a week!

Baby Andrew!

Image
Andrew Nathan Elliott finally showed his face on 7/7/14.  He was fighting it pretty hard (kept trying to squirm up and away), but Caroline's belly was pretty full and he couldn't hide for too long.  Caroline keeps saying the delivery was "pretty fabulous"- I'm not sure how that works, but whatever!

So far he's loud and hungry, which is pretty much the same as every other kid in this house.  We're glad to have him!
