A Very Memorial Weekend!

This Memorial weekend was quite memorable. Elias turned one. Oma, Opa, and Uncle T all came in from California. Since Elias enjoys hummus, we went to the local Turkish restaurant on his birthday and enjoyed some fine cuisine. Elias loved pitas and hummus.

 Elias got some man time and learned the fine art of watching sports and hangin' with the boys...

On Saturday, we had barrels of monkeys of fun and went to the park in celebration of Elias turning One. Here's a little birthday cake action. (Better, professional pictures will be coming soon of the party...)

Sunday was Elias' baptism. Father Jeremy baptised Elias at St. Monica's Catholic Church. Elias had a bit too much fun at his baptism....(including blowing raspberries at Father during prayer.)

Bible stories with his Mamas...

 Elias' godparents Pete and Mel.

On Memorial Day proper, we headed to the Indianapolis Zoo for Elias' first encounter with all the animals. Although every animal was called a "duck," he enjoyed himself very much so. Especially with the monkeys, walruses, fish (including the shark petting tank), zebras, "petting zoo," and of course the ducks. Much fun was had by the whole family.

  

The most exciting highlight of the weekend was however, Elias learning how to walk! Check out the video below.
