Erick's Visit

Since Ellis wouldn't cuddle with him, Erick snuggled up with "Da Bee" instead.
Ellis playing the "let's go to sleep, let's wake up" game with Erick
Erick was on Pacific Coast Time so Ellis would congregate all her toys around him while he was sleeping
Uncle Bro and The Phew (Erick calls her that because she was a 'neiceaphew' the whole time I was pregnant and 'the phew' stuck even after she turned out to be a girl.)
Swan!
She started to come down with something while Erick was here. This day was the beginning of her being sick, and I think you can see it coming in her eyes.
Riding the boat with her Uncle Bro
This is my favorite tree in Boston Garden. So gorgeous...
Playing with Uncle Bro on the swan boat.
Going down the slide (I'll post a video of this adventure too because it was pretty hilarious.)
Fenway park on the day Ted Kennedy died.
Flag at half-mass for our Senator
Green Monster (Two home runs went over this wall during the game!)
Bro and Sis

As you can tell by the photos, my brother came to visit last week. Vimal actually surprised me by getting him a ticket and it was great to be able to spend time with him and to have him spend time with Ellis (since he hadn't seen her since Christmas!) Anyways, as you can tell by the photos, we stayed busy by going into Boston to ride the swan boats in the Garden, and we also went to see a game at Fenway. Ellis definitely loved playing with her Uncle Bro too, even though she did get sick during his visit. And, by the way, she is feeling much better now.

I'm also going to post a few videos that I took while Erick was here. The first one is of Ellis and me on the swan boat. The second one is of Ellis and Erick on the slide. It's pretty hilarious because they have a little trouble sliding down. And the third one, if you don't get car sick watching it, is of Ellis saying "Uncle Bro" and "Mooshie Tiger". Uncle Bro we know, but we aren't sure who Mooshie Tiger is.

That video of the slide cracked me up! Stop and go, stop and go...I laughed! Baker actually went down a slide like that the other day by himself but backwards...whew! And the duck one was cute too...Baker ran over to the computer to watch the videos and when you asked her what a duck says, he was going "nak, nak". Looks like you guys had a great visit. I'm sorry she got so sick. Poor girl. Hopefully she is on the up!
