We Are a Happy Family

It's amazing what you find the time to do when you should be studying for finals. Blogging is a good example. For those of you who have been waiting for more pictures, you can thank the upcoming exam schedule.

ANYWAY, things have been exciting at the Nelson home. We woke up one night to the sounds of Elliott gasping for breath. After several trips to a steamy bathroom and a visit to a pediatrician, he kept getting worse. We went to the emergency room and found out that he had croup. Why does our child love the hospital, you might ask? We have been wondering the same thing ourselves. Thankfully, Elliott is doing much better now--back to his normal smiling self.

We convinced our friends to take some pictures of us at the Duke Gardens (which, by the way, are absolutely beautiful). Elliott was not in the best mood, but here are the fruits of our labors:

(Don't you just love that picture? I think it is the cutest thing.)

Last, but not least, we just got back from a wonderful Thanksgiving trip to Georgia. It was a whirwind week, and Elliott was definitely sick of the car by the time we got home, but it was tons of fun. Elliott was spoiled all week with his aunts and grandma holding him, and it was great to spend time with family. Now we are back in the real world and preparing for a crazy month to wrap up the semester . . .
