Hives, pancakes, and puzzles

Well, it's been a busy past week for us. Poor Silas had a bad case of the hives and has been on Benadryl since Sunday. We're not sure how he got them, but they seem to be getting better. Today, Eli had his first "show and tell" experience at preschool. For the past few days, whenever I have asked him what he wanted to bring, his answer has been, "a blueberry pancake!" And when I asked him what he would tell his class about it, he said, "You eat it with butter and syrup, and it's yummy, and it's round like a ball and a circle and a planet." But at the last minute, he changed his mind and decided to bring his solarscape puzzle - a 100-piece, 4-ft. long puzzle of the solar system that he puts together on the kitchen floor about 5 times a week. I finally convinced him that he had to leave the pieces at home and just take the box. He was thrilled! He actually held the box the entire way to school (about 25 min. drive) and studied it. He is a funny kid. We've also been getting ready for Bryan's parents and grandparents to come for a visit, and they arrived this evening! We plan to do some fun things while they are here.

Below are some photos of the past week! My next challenge is to figure out how to post a video on this web site! Anyone have tips for me??
