Spencer will turn one this coming Thursday and to celebrate we had a few friends over - all with kids around Spencer's age. This was a first for us - hosting a party with all these kids (I think we had 11 total) but we had such a great time. As you can see, we received encouragement from our friends to let Spencer go nuts with his piece of cake. He's a true Ellert with his love of chocolate, although he kindly reminded us that babies shouldn't eat too much sugar by throwing it all up this morning (no worries, he feels fine now!). Also, for those of you worried he contracted a nasty skin rash...that bottom picture is him covered in the Italian food we served last night!I still need to post pictures from our trip back to NY last week with my family. My parents rented a house for us on a lake in Pennsylvania and we had such a great time hanging at the lake and the pool. Jon and I even got to play a few rounds of golf with my dad. I have about 400 pictures from that trip so I need a little more time getting through those pictures!
I'll also post a few pictures of the Democratic National Convention, which Denver hosted last week. Jon and I went to Barack Obama's acceptance speech, which was quite the amazing event.
