Good times

Elijah has discovered Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story". He loves Buzz. He runs around the house saying "To infinity and beyond" (actually, it comes out more like "oo i ini ee a ee on") So we left on our road trip to Minneapolis prepared that we would need to pull out the portable DVD player that we bought so he could watch his new favorite movie. We didn't even need to take it out as a good portion of the trip down was him playing with his monkey and teddy bear (which have been turned into Buzz and Woody respectively).

We had a wonderful couple of days with our friends. Their children were gracious and kind to Elijah and Lillian. They got on the floor and played with Lillian and headed downstairs with Elijah more times than we could count so that he could play with all their toys. (He told me yesterday that the favorite part of the trip for him was the downstairs.) It is sometimes sad to have good friends living so far away but it is good for the soul to be able to see each other for several days and watch our children become a part of each others lives.
