Matt and Lynsey

Matt and Lynsey got engaged this past December. They're getting married May 15, 2010. I have no idea how they have so much patience. Justin and I got engaged after 6 months and were married 7 or 8 months later.

I took some engagement pictures of them this past weekend. I was really happy with how most of them turned out. I can't seem to chose which ones to post, so I'll post the best of each shot.

Elijah at 2 Months

I saw my nephew Elijah today for the first time in a month. He's almost 2 1/2 months old now, and had changed a lot! Nick, Hilary, and Elijah came over on Saturday night, along with Lynsey and Matt. I didn't get any pictures of the adults, I only cared about the baby.

His little onsie said "Demolition Expert." So cute!

He recently started smiling and cooing.

On Sunday we celebrated my Pake's 80th birthday. I didn't get many pictures of Elijah, and all the good ones were when he was sleeping.

Here he is sleeping in the crib that his Daddy and all his aunts and uncles slept in when they were babies:

And here he is, all tuckered out right before going home, sleeping on Granny. His cheek was all smushed up, and he was almost giving the finger! I wish I had noticed it at the time. I would have switched it to his other finger.

I love this little guy.

Pictures

About a month ago I took some pictures of my sister Giliane and her boyfriend Bronson, as well as my brother Matthew, and his fiancee Lynsey. I wanted to put a few up here, but I have a really low bandwidth at my house. I have my USB key here at work today, and the pictures are on it. Unfortunately I've taken more recent pictures this weekend, but I don't have those on my USB key. Hopefully I'll remember that for tomorrow.

Here's Giliane and Bronson:

Now here are some of Matthew and his fiancee Lynsey:

I liked my pictures of Giliane and Bronson better. But I went out with Matt and Lynsey this past weekend and got some gorgeous engagement pictures. I'll post them soon. Along with the newest pictures of my nephew, Elijah.

Funny

My grade 2/3 class (ages 7 and 8) and I were just outside playing soccer baseball for Phys. Ed. One of my students, Daniel, who is notoriously wimpy, fell down and scraped his elbow. He started yelling, "I'm bleeding! I'm bleeding!"

Steven, who was on his team, turned to him, exasperated, and yelled back, "It doesn't matter! You're a man!"
