A few weeks back Elliot played several songs on piano at a crafts show at the Midland Center for the Arts. Here is Rudolph.

Today was the first day of second grade.  My teacher's name is Mrs. Burtch.  We had recess 3 times today!  One in the morning, one at lunch time, and one in the afternoon.  For lunch I had a PB&J pack, tomatoes, and a Capri Sun.  Tomorrow is the second day of school!  Gnarly man!

We had our fantasy football draft tonight.  The laptop Elliot was using wasn't functioning properly, so he had to make a quick switch to another laptop at the beginning of the draft (and in the mean time the automated system picked Willie Parker for him instead of the Tom Brady that he actually wanted for his first pick among the players still available).  Uncle Kevin then benefited by being given the chance to get Brady for himself.  Some might wonder if he had a hand in sabotaging Elliot's computer.  Elliot took it in stride, though, and was less stressed by the online draft than I was.  Here are a few pictures:
