Elliot Wireless

The internet is finally up and running for us, so I can post pictures. They're not super-recent, but they're recent enough. Now that the baby is healthy (well, mostly) again, I am a much happier person. Joe has been sick for over a week now with the flu, and he's been sleeping on the air mattress in the living room so he won't get me and Elliot sick. He got sick just when Elliot was finally off of oxygen, so I really didn't want to deal with any more illness in our home. We've returned to Church, and I must say I've never seen Dottie so excited to go to Church. She stayed home with me on Sundays because I think she got the RSV from nursery and brought it home. It's good to start socializing again. We went to the zoo yesterday with Em, and that was another special treat for Dottie.

By the way, our days with Emily are limited. She's moving north of Denver at the beginning of April. Although it's not that far, we're used to seeing her a few times a week, so it's very sad. I don't know what Dottie's going to do. Craig had to find a new job because things didn't work out at the practice he was working at here. There was nothing in CO Springs, so they took the job north of Denver. This means they have to sell their house, which is not going to be easy in the real estate climate we have here.

Anyway, that's our sad news. Here's the pictures, mostly from when Joe's parents came and visited the first weekend in March. They visited little Elliot for the first time, and that was when we took him off of oxygen. Joe and I got to go see "Carmen" with them at the Pikes Peak Center, which was a special treat since we really hadn't been on a date since the baby's been born.

This was Elliot at the end of January before we knew he was sick. He's in his gangsta jogging suit.
