A Girl-Man?

Lately Erik has been very interested in trying to figure out all the gender-related words. . . Man, woman, boy, girl, lady, sir, etc. We had been talking about how mommy was a woman since I was a 'grown up girl'. A few hours later, Erik came up to me and said "Biffis a girl, mommy a girl. . . . man?" He was obviously thinking very hard and trying to remember what I had told him before. It was very cute. :-)

Oh, and yes, Erik calls Elizabeth, Biffis. . . Elizabeth is just a little bit too much of a mouthful for him. . .

Happy Labor Day everyone!

Yellowstone

A couple weeks ago we were able to go to Yellowstone for an Ohran Family reunion. Erik had tons of fun camping. He loved staying in a tent with Ben, and Elizabeth and I were just happy that we could stay in a cabin with Meredith and Zander. While we were there we got to see Old Faithful, the Paint Pots, some great waterfalls, some elk, and one bison. We even had matching t-shirts!


At the Paint Pots, Erik was much more excited about the signs than anything else.
