Happy Birthday Eli...

Today's Eli's first birthday. It's crazy how fast a year's gone by. It's pretty fun thought... I've watched that little guy go from a fragile premie to a crazy little guy with a personality all his own. While Eli was a bit of an unexpected joy, every day I realize a bit more how perfect God's timing was in giving him to us. That kid just gets to be more and more fun every day. Eli's birthday probably means more to me and his mom than it does to him... but we had a lot of fun. Me and him went out to lunch at McDonalds. That kid pounded back a whole milkshake and a half an order of fries. It's his favorite lunch... Don't worry, he NEVER gets to eat that normally. But it was fun birthday lunchtime. I love that we're our own family and can kinda make up things like birthday traditions as we go along. Happy 1st Eli.

Anyways... here's a few fun photos. One from day 1 and one from today. Scroll down to the post below for some fun pictures of Eli having at his birthday party cake.

Cheers!

Mmmm..... cake....

As promised...

The end of an era...

Today marks the last day of Kevin Porter's employment at the Bluestem Bistro. It's quite a sad day. But, as well as they treat me here at the Bluestem... coffee shops just don't pay the bills for a soon to be family four. So, I'm hanging up my apron...

After spending two weeks training my replacement... tomorow is my full time first day at Century Business Systems. It's bittersweet... but a part of life.

So here's to you Bluestem. Thanks for the fun ride.
