Pittsburgh

My time is limited, as Elijah has already been down for his nap for over an hour, so I'm going to keep this one short, sweet, and mostly photos (really this time!)

Here are some pics from our trip to Pittsburgh. I got pooped after the zoo, so it's pretty much just from where Matt was speaking at the conference and from the zoo. Enjoy!

Eli and Matt at the Steak and Shake on the way there. E has been curling his bottom lip a lot since he cut that one tooth...I think he likes the way it feels.

Very very interested in food lately. Interested isn't even the right word. He makes desperate lunges at everything we eat and jumps with excitement whenever we're drinking anything, and yet, doesn't seem too interested in his own food.

Such delicious burgers...I wish I could eat them every day.

The shakes are delectable! Mine was the cookies and cream one, and it was amazing!

One of the buildings at the beautiful place where Matt spoke. It was a private high school, and including boarding it costs $40,000 to go there (US) The building pictured above is a dormitory I think. That's just insane though! One year there is more than 4 years of university here (undergrad)

Greenery.

I liked this fish.

Shady Side Academy = the name of the school

I LOVE how his eyes just twinkle!

Gazelle? Antelope? I don't know what they are, but hey, the picture turned out!

Mama and baby elephant.

"What are you looking at?"

Two lions, having a bit of a domestic dispute. I like to think they're arguing over who gets more shade, and who gets the cool side of the rock-face.

 

And now I've got to go because Elijah just woke up! I knew he wouldn't be long, but I'm a teeny disappointed because I wanted to write about how there is officially a "For Sale" sign on our front lawn now! Oh well. Maybe later.
