Drinks of choice at the Ellestad house

Well it appears that Spring is FINALLY starting to appear in Madison and we couldn't be happier! 

We are celebrating with lots of 'toasts' and 'cheers' in our house! 

James is doing great - growing up before our eyes and using a sippy cup all the time now. 

I am sure he would still happily take a bottle - but now that he is almost 18 months - we are making the transition and he is doing just fine! 

We drink A LOT of milk in our house (all 3 of us actually) and learned the best way to get James to finish his milk or water is to offer to 'cheers' him at the dinner table.

 Works every time... for now at least!

 On the weekends, Patrick is enjoying the many choices of seasonal beers - We noticed just the other day that Summer Shandy is out (in my opinion, a little early - but regardless, another sign that warmer weather is on its way!)

And I have been enjoying lots of water and milk, since like James, I am also GROWING everyday! 

We are excited to announce that James will become a big brother this July! 

Baby E2 is due July 5th and we are thrilled to be preparing to be a family of 4. 

So whatever your drink of choice today - raise a glass with us to celebrate tonight!
