Adventures with Elliot

Chandler was more than excited when the class elephant, Elliot got to come home with him on Friday of last week.  Elliot gets to stay with us for one whole week and we get the burden privilege of documenting his stay with us in pictures and writing up a summary of his stay with us to place in the class book.  Normally I would love this sort of assignment, but with the sick children and being sick myself, this task STILL remains in my to-do pile.  Someday....

Anyways, there are pictures of Elliot at Yogurt Mountain, playing firefighter, looking at the rain, and more...   Here are some highlights:

Chandler had an MRI at Duke Children's hospital today.  It was part of a research study and he loved it.  The above is a picture of the "practice" machine to get Chandler acquainted with how it would be and sound.  He did great!  He got to watch a movie while they took pictures of his brain.  We will have these mailed to us in a few weeks.  Chandler got to pick out two prizes for his great work and he was nice enough to share one with Brighton.  I'm so proud of him!

Here Elliot practices his architectural skills as he reviews plans for our new house.

Here's the lincoln log farmhouse that Mommy Elliot built.

Over the weekend it was haircuts for the big boys.  Chandler decided Elliot needed a trim too.  We did have a fun time with all our adventures with Elliot and hopefully he had fun too!
