Eli's First Trip!

Last night we returned from our first trip to Spokane with Eli. He handled the 6 hour drives beautifully. He slept the entire time, both ways. That was such a blessing to us. We were completely sure that we would have a screaming baby for at least a few hours of the trip...what a happy surprise!

While in Spokane we stayed with Eric's family, the Dibbles. Debby Dibble and my sister LeAnne threw us a baby shower. Here are pics:

My best buddy since we were 13 years old, Krista Martinez.
She moved to Spokane about 2 years ago (she beat me to motherhood by, oh, about 7 years).

My twin...or at least that's what everyone thinks (even though she's 4 years my senior), LeAnne.
