Here is Elijah with his skateboard that dad made


Here he is in his big boy bed

We went to the air show while we were watching the planes E was watching the girls climb the fence and thought he would give it a try

He was so proud to make it to the top


Well it has once again been forever since my last post. I don't know why I check the thing everyday, but I don't have the energy to sit and write!

1.Gunnar returned from the Quest and he had an awesome time. We really missed him around here though. It is amazing how much you realize just how much you talk to someone when you can't speak at all for a week! I was so thankful to have dad and meme around to help out or I think I might have gone crazy.

2. Dad left for Seattle Washington last week. We really miss having him around here. Elijah misses all of the constant attention. Papaw would play with him all day! It has been an adjustment for me too. I am learning to help him entertain himself.

3. Elijah is officially out of his crib. He climbed out and we have not been able to keep him in it now. He has been sleeping in his big boy bed (sometimes!). The other day I went to put him down for a nap. We have put a gate at his door because he will just run right out. Well I put him in there and of course he runs right to the gate and screams and cry. After about fifteen minutes I am down in my room when I here him coming!! He climbed over the gate!! He is such a rascal. I went up there later to find he used the stool for getting into his bed by the gate and just climbed right over. This phase is proving to be quite the challenge.

4. Faith and Katelyn are doing great in school and really enjoying the chance to make new friends. Faith is in a running club and honor Choir. I am so excited she is starting early with music. She really loves it.

5. Gunnar and I are going to the Elm Creek Manor this weekend. It is a bed and Breakfast north of here. He got me this package for my birthday, I am pumped about getting some time away!! Bonnie-Ruth and Jason will be staying with the kiddo's.

That's about all that's going on in our house this past week.

Is this cold weather great or what?!

I didn't see Beth this morning but I did see it last week and it was one of the ones we were at. I didn't catch it until the end. I'll keep my eye out for us next week!

Lock the door. It's all you can do!! Good luck! Good to see a new post . . and BTW - that picture of him close up is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. What a handsome little man, and what a GREAT picture!

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. I John 3:1
