October Sunrise

When we lived on the north side of town, I used to admire the sunrises driving through town, on my way to work. This pic from March 2005 is an example of that appreciation

From Crops

Three years later, we can see the old barn from our back yard and experience the sunrises every morning. Those pesky electrical wires are visible in both pics but who's complaining :). The LORD is good.

Fun with a Water Hose

Watering more than just our new trees.









The house we bought this spring had a pool that came with it. Needless to say, we have enjoyed it very much. True to form though, Eli is the most careful and concerned around and in the pool. He insists on being held even though we have various flotation devices that would keep him afloat. Many times this year when the rest of the family was in the pool Eli would say, "I'll swim tomorrow." Whenever he was brave enough to swim only holding one hand, in anxious excitement, he would call all to look at him. We worked with him several times trying to get him to duck his head under the water, with little success. The first thing he said after being drenched (See below) was, "I went under!"





Go ahead and fill it up again :)

Eli's Special Talent

Eli is notorious for falling asleep while eating. Here's a couple from May 2006.





We have video of him actually eating while in that wonderful stage of almost sleep but tonight's picture may take the taco, so to speak.

Fall is Coming

Happy Birthday Maya!
