Elijah's First Fish...!

Elijah really fell in love with fishing back on October 19 during our first home school tennis golf art and fishing camp. We've gone fishing many times since then, but haven't caught any fish. Well, this past Wednesday Elijah, Connor and I were fishing on the lagoons back behind the tennis center near the hotel. Connor caught the first one, and then Elijah caught the second one.

Elijah was so excited and it was just a joy to watch. He wanted to pet the fish and take it home with us but I released it and returned it back to the water... I took some photos of the event using my camera phone but will need to research how to email it to myself from my phone...

Anyway, I am very delighted to report this fun milestone in Elijah's Life...! I don't know how old I was before I caught my first fish but I'm sure I was much older than two years and four months... -Way to go, Elijah!

Elijah's Apples

Elijah Loves Healthy Snacks Like Apple Slices...!

Last night, Elijah just would not go to sleep. Consequently Mommy and Daddy did not sleep much either... Oh well, that just comes with the territory of being a parent of a 2 year old...! Yesterday Elijah and I went to play golf for the first time... We putted on the practice green behind the tennis courts. He loved it. We also went fishing, but didn't catch anything. Elijah is getting very good at reeling in the line now...! ( I cast for him) We try to fish for at least a few minutes almost every day, unless the weather is really bad...

Day at the Zoo...

Here's a photo of Elijah at the Hoston Zoo sitting on a big turtle statue. This was a trip he and Monica took with our Friends from FBC West Columbia. Obviously he had a good time...

Here's a link to some photos and commentary Monica posted on her blog of our Thanksgiving this year... I may publish some more pics later...

FAVORITE CARTOON

Dear Elijah...

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks but I'm back on track today... I have to report that we've really had some fun times lately... We bought you a finding Nemo Fishing Pole and have gone fishing pretty much every day since then... We haven't caught a fish yet but have had several 'bites' and have seriously scared several turtles... We've been fishing the lagoons around the tennis center... I really enjoy going fishing with you...

I posted the photo above because your other passion lately has been the cartoon Go, Diego, Go...! It's a good cartoon and daddy enoys watching it with you...!

Today, mommy is taking you to the Houston Zoo with friends from church...!

I know you will have an awesome day and mommy will take lots of pictures... Bye for now...

Love Always,

Daddy
