t-ball

Matt took Jonah to basketball today so he could watch him while I took Elijah to t-ball. I was cracking up that Elijah had his hand in his pocket while running around the bases . . . when Matt, Elijah & I were looking at the photos later Matt asked if Elijah had money in his pocket? Elijah said YES and so I guess I learned that I need to ask Elijah to clear out his pockets before t-ball!

Looks who's six!

KINDERGARTEN!!!!!

What an exciting day - Elijah started Kindergarten! After waking up at 6am and eating breakfast Elijah couldn't wait to put on his new uniform! Then it was time to pose for a few first day of school photos in what has become a tradition - by the front door. Finally at 9 am it was time to head to school with Daddy, Mommy, Isabella & Tia (Jonah was at school himself).



We took a few photos in front of the school sign . . .

Mom's best gift.

December 23, 8:30 am. Elijah comes down the stairs and climbs up on my lap to cuddle. He snuggles with me for quite a while. An early Chrissy gift as this is one of the few times I can remember him climbing up to cuddle without me requesting him to do so. Such a sweet moment - such a sweet boy :)

A few more photos of T-Ball!

First T-Ball Practice

Elijah had his first T-Ball practice on Saturday. It was a fun time, made especially so by the fact that his coach is his dad :)
