This is Elijah at 5 months! Too Cute!
We are working with our youth group at church with a few other couples as the "interum youth pastors". We lost our youth and senior pastors so not only has the church been busy but so have we with all sorts of events with the teens. Here is Elijah and Mark joining in on the action at a x-box night.
At the end of September we went to Tri-Cities to visit the family and meet Ryan and Lauren's little guy Kaleb Christopher.
He wasn't really happy in this picture... but Elijah was sure curious.
We headed to Long Beach on the Washington coast with Mark's parents. We met up with some family friends, the Knights. We had a really great time and can't wait to go back. The weather was absolutely amazing for October - sunny and perfect. We flew kites, played lots of games, ate good food and had a wonderful time just being together.
Elijah really enjoyed all things "Fall." He loved Grandma Schlatter's pumpkins as you can see here.
This is Elijah at 6 months. Yup, still cute.
For my birthday in June, Mark got me tickets to go on a train ride up in Northern Washington. It was very beautiful with all the colors changing.... I went as a kid and remembered it as such a great time so I wanted to go again. We took Elijah and enjoyed it as a family. Over rivers and through the woods... even a "train robbery" for fun.
This catches you up to just before Halloween... out of time for today but I promise I will keep adding.... must go take a shower while the boy is still asleep. It is amazing how simple things like taking a shower before 3 pm seem so hard to do with a busy little guy.
