Elias is 23 months old! Elias on 23kk vanha!

So,Elias is quite the funny kid! He has a great personality! Yesterday he put 2 words together and said "Mommy out" when he wanted out of the bathtub! He says bubbles, please, Yaya for Maya, mommy, mamma, map, bus. he says something that sounds like "what is that" or "whose is that" and after you tell his he says "okay"! So cute!
And the dog sled team was running out behind our house this afternoon...


Elias on aika hassu lapsi! Ihana persoona hanella! Eilen han laittoi 2 sanaa yhteen ja sanoi englanniksi "aiti pois" kun haluisi pois kylpyammeesta. Eliaksella on paljon enkun sanoja. Han myos vastaa "okei" kun hanelle kerrotaan jotain!
Koirat nakyivat meidan takapihalta tana iltapaivana..

Joshua Tree National Park

These are pictures from Joshua Tree National Park in California. I was there on a conference with my wonderful coworkers in January and we got to spend the afternoon at the park. It is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen.

Tassa kuvia Joshua Tree Kansallispuistosta Kaliforniassa. Olin konferesissa siella tammikuussa mun mahtavien tyokaverien kanssa. Paasimme puistoon iltapaivaksi ja se on yks kauneisempia paikkoja minka olen ikina nahnyt.
