Summer 2011  ~ Random Photos with Connor

Here's a random photo from this summer.  I asked Elijah to tell me something about this photo and he said he and Connor were taking pictures of each other.   I like this photo...~Daddy

Spring Training

Oh this sweet little boy is growing up...!  The photo properties say this photo was taken March 20, 2011. The date of this blog post is nearly seven months since the photo above was taken, but  I remember the day disctinctly.  It was a Sunday afternoon and I had just bought you a Big Plastic Baseball Bat from Wal Mart  and we were conducting batting practice with wiffel balls and tennis balls.  The weather was gorgeous.  It was a really nice spring day.

I told you a story about how my brother John and I used to play tennis baseball for hours in our back yard when we were kids.  Ahhh...  That brought back fond memories for me, too.   That's the cool thing about getting married and having children, Elijah.  ~We parents get a chance to re live our childhood all over again...!

I want to start playing baseball with you more...  Especially to work on your throwing.  There's nothing more fun than a father and son playing catch.  Well, except playing tennis, of course...!

Sunday Morning Breakfast

Elijah, one family tradition I am sure you will always look back on with fond memories is our Sunday morning family breakfasts.   Most Sunday mornings Daddy will get up early before the rest of the family and make fresh coffee and prepare some delicious nutrition to get our day off to a good start.  

This morning I made mommy and myself a delicious spinach and tomato omelet and I made you a BIG breakfast taco.   Your taco consisted of scrambled egg whites, baked tator tots, a little grated cheese, and of course: Ketchup...!    You said it was delicious.   ~Mommy and I enjoyed our omelets, too...!

Of course, the reason it tastes so good is because of the 'secret' ingredient I put into every recipe... (love)

As I close this latest post I am looking out the window at a gorgeous morning...!  What a beautiful day the Lord has made...!  I am rejoicing at how blessed this family is to have each other, and to have Jesus as our Lord and Savior...!   God is Good.

Love,

Daddy
