Well we went to a new doctor in our new town. Mommy was a little nervous but Eli did great! He even waved bye-bye and gave the Dr. a high five before he left. Mommy was proud. :)
I haven't update on Eli in awhile. He continues to be adventurous (I mean he is a boy). He primarily walks everywhere. He perfected his walk once we moved- I think the hard floor motivated him a little. He's somewhat of a picky eater- he would prefer I only feed him bread, cheese, and an occasional fruit or green bean. He is jabbering a lot more now and repeats words like cracker, cool dude (when he's wearing his sunglasses), please, and a few others. He can point to his eyes, nose, ears and occasionally mouth. Oh, and how can I forget his tantrums...when Eli's mad, he can throw a tantrum with the best of them. He'll arch his back and then try to hit his head on the floor. Picture a little boy on all fours lightly (sometimes a little harder than lightly) tapping his head on the floor and then looking at mommy like "see mom, I'm mad". It's quite a sight. So the disciplining is in full swing. Love my little boy. I've been reminding him that he's supposed to be my baby, but he doesn't seem to listen. Lastly, he loves when his daddy comes home from work. He'll hear the door and then his face just lights up. It is the most precious thing.

Shots are no fun...but balloons sure help!

Easter Weekend
This Easter we went to Sabetha. It was so great. It had been awhile since we had been there for a whole weekend. We have made several quick trips up in the last months, but it was so nice to be with family for the weekend- except for the fact that Eli got sick, but what's new! :)
Here are some pictures from the weekend. Most are from McKim Easter and Uncle Gary and Aunt Connie's house with their animals.

| I didn't think Eli would be into Easter egg hunting- in fact I didn't even get him a basket- but he loved it! He walked around and gather probably 6 eggs. Next year I'll be more prepared. |

What We've Been Up To
The last few weeks in our household have been crazy. In the last 3-ish weeks we have moved to a new town and house (all while Brent and Eli had the stomach flu), started a new job (Brent), closed up Wichert Optometry in Wichita, moved Wichert Optometry stuff to our basement, unpacked, and everything that goes along with all of these things.
So it's been pretty crazy around here. Crazy in the busy kind of way. Brent has the day off tomorrow and I am SO EXCITED to have a day to do whatever we want (or do nothing at all).
We love our new house and are starting to get acquainted with the town. Brent is working in Junction City and Manhattan until mid-April when he starts in Salina. I'm ready for mid-April, but we're both so thankful for Brent to have a steady income working for a wonderful group.
We closed up Wichert Optometry last Saturday. Found the patient charts a new home. Now we are trying to sell equipment and furniture from the office. Anyone need an office chair? We have 4. I thought it would be bitter-sweet closing up shop there, but it was pretty much just sweet. Such a weight has been lifted. We are thankful for the time God had us there- we learned a lot- but are now glad not to have to worry about it.
Now we're getting things finalized with the business, getting things started here (bank, doctors, church hunting, etc), and adjusting to a new life in Salina.
Here are some pictures of a few of the things Eli loves about our new house.
