Casey, Dave, Elliott, Ian and Emmett came to Sharon on Sunday for a belated family birthday dinner for Casey's 30th birthday. Jamie was committed to a baby shower so she didn't get to join us, and we missed her! Before we ate, Dave took Elliott in the pool for his first ever swim, and Elliott seemed to like it. Emmett, Dave and Ian then went swimming and apparently Emmett took a header into the pool while trying to push his Dad in, but all was well.
Emmett showed up with shorts, a t shirt, and a bow tie! I'd watch him and he would look down at it every so often to make sure it was still on straight! He wanted to ride his tricycle, so we went out to the drive and he told me we were to race and when I was racing I had to put on a "mean" face. We had about 5 or 6 races, and if he didn't beat me every time!
Emmett decided he wanted to hold Elliott, and he was so good with him! The first time they met Emmett did not seem too impressed with Elliott, but he really got into it this time. When Elliott was making some fussy noises, Emmett patted his belly and said "It's all right!" And it was cute to hear Emmett call him "Baby Elliott".
Group shot!! Ian took this of the 5 of us.
Casey helps to cook the roasted red pepper risotto for our dinner. I roasted 3 red peppers - my first time to try that, and she is the old hand at making risotto so took over and stirred and added broth and stirred some more and it turned out fantastic.
Sharing birthday dinner. Roasted red pepper risotto, roasted asparagus, salad with Martha Stewart's favorite viniagrette dressing, ciabatta bread, steak for David, and peach crisp with ice cream for dessert.
Blowing out the candles on her birthday peach crisp! She had cake and cupcakes last weekend, so it was time for something different.
The two cousins get to spend some time together. Elliott will be passing Emmett up in height and weight before you know it at the rate he is growing!
Elliott's first swim! We just need to make sure that when it comes time for him to learn to do a handstand underwater, that his father does not teach him how!!
Cute baby award! Laughing, sticking out his tongue, trying to roll over - cute, cute, and cuter!
Roasted asparagus
Peach crisp with fresh organic peaches - yum! Casey had the leftovers for breakfast this morning!
