Elijah's Little Friends!

Elijah recently called together a meeting of all his little friends. He's sitting in the middle riding on top of his favorite rocking horse looking proud as can be! What a sweet heart!.

Worn Out...!

Elijah went to bed early and slept throughout the night last night. He was very tired from a big fun day with daddy. We went on a picnic for lunch and brought our fishing poles with us for fishing afterwards.

We found 'our special spot' along the lagoons under a big tree at the front of the country club property. We pitched our blanket and enjoyed a feast of tuna sandwiches, fruit, cheese, crackers, and some m and m's.

We caught a big turtle, a catfish, and a sunfish, but we let them all go. The catfish was the biggest fish we have caught to date... about 3 lbs...! Elijah had never seen a catfish before and he was a little scared of it!

After fishing we read some books before heading home. All in all it was a good, fun day!

One funny thing did happen, though. At one point I had taken my shoes off so my feet could relax a bit and that was big mistake, Elijah threw one of my shoes in the water...! I had to walk home (about a mile) in a sopping wet shoe...! Thanks a lot Elijah. My shoe is still wet nearly 24 hours later!

Daddy Time...!

Dear Elijah,

I consider Monday my favorite day of the week because I get to spend extra time You.

Mommy has art classes in the afternoon and so You and I have from about 11:30 AM until about 3:15 all to our selves. The weather's supposed to be gorgeous today so I'm sure we'll do some fun things outside this afternoon. I think today we'll just go for a long walk. And I'd love to go fishing today, maybe find a new fishing spot that we've never fished from before... Of course, we can go to the playground, and play golf or tennis... What ever -you want to do is fine with me. I'm very much looking forward to Elijah-Daddy time!

Love Always,

Daddy

Diaper Man Tennis Super Hero

These photos were taken on a hot afternoon in September...! Elijah's going to be very mad at me for publishing his diaper-man tennis photos one day but I can't help it... He looks so cute....

My Best Friend!

This sweet little boy told me that I was his best friend a few days ago...! He said, 'Daddy, you're my best friend!' That was such a touching moment. It was one that I will never forget. I am so grateful to have this blogsite to perserve memories like this one.

While every post is a treasured memory, today's post really stands out as a great moment for Elijah and I...

Dear Elijah,

I just want you to know that you are my best friend, too.

You are a tremendous blessing to your mommy and I. We both love you very much...!

Love always,

Your best friend, Daddy

Gonna Miss My Boo Boo...

I think I've posted this photo before but it's such a sweet picture that it deserves to be posted again. I just love the look on our faces as we snuggle up togethere while mommy takes our photo...! Unfortunately, today I have to take a trip out of town for a conference and will be gone for a little over 24 hours. That really isn't a very long time but I'm going to be miserable not seeing my dear sweet baby boy until tomorrow evening.... Eljah, in case you haven't figured it out yet, your daddy loves you very much!

Playing with Mommy

In this photo Elijah and Mommy enjoy a fun time at the tennis center with a box of puzzels while Daddy was working...! Eljah really enjoys puzzels. Daddy really enjoys having his family close by while he's working!
