Task Master!

Here he is vacuuming... we do have 1 long haired cat, two dogs and a mama that sheds like crazy... how do you think you keep wood floors clean?


Reading books to those that can't (OK, Uncle June (in Eli-ese) was reading 'The Wheels on the Bus' to Eli in an attempt to upstage Gampy D)


Paying homage to those we hold in high esteem (Buddha in the bamboo garden at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens in Gainesville - http://www.kanapaha.org/)



Picking 10 lbs of blueberries in heat and standing water with mosquitoes to make dad happy. OK, this trip near Gainesville was a little over a couple of pounds. A later trip for which we have no pictoral documentation yielded a little more than 10 lbs and Eli was extremely happy to help us eat blueberries right out of the bucket).


Making a nutritious and satisfying meal for those you love... OK, granma cooked the spaghetti here, but Eli obviously enjoyed it immensely!

Taking the family car out for a spin... ok, maybe that's a stretch, but here's Eli enjoying RAM (http://www.riversideartsmarket.com/) his way.

Giving friends tours of local attractions... (here are Eli and Holden at the zoo in the Asian exhibit. Funny enough, Holden was explaining to Eli how he was the grown up and Eli was the baby)...


But after a long day of chores, there's nothing more relaxing than kicking back and playing dress up:


Enjoying a little fun in the sand and sun



Catching up on all those library books before they become past due (Eli really enjoyed the Knut book to his left in this picture)

Enjoying a little liquid libation. What can we say... he likes his straws!


Sharing a smooze with Holden on the front porch

Enjoying the surf at Ponte Vedra with Amanda
And of course, wearing mom's shoes!
