Eli's getting better and better at the jolly jumper. I remember getting a lot of use out of this thing with James!
What a little sweet heart!
James needs a hair cut - but he just flips out these days if we bring the scissors anywhere near him...maybe he'll have a pony tail for Uncle Nathan's wedding...
Getting better and more use out of the bumbo these days:
The flowers (I'll miss them when they're gone...who wouldn't?):
These are new. They're called Solomon Seal (I think). They're the long stalks growing under the rhodo. I walk past a house with a gorgeous yard everytime I go to Save On (every day), and yesterday I chatted with the lady and asked her some questions about plants, and she offered me a whole bunch of her stuff. I came back with the car and picked up about 5 big clumps of solomon seal, some iris', some black eyed susans, and a couple other things that I don't know what they are (but I do know they're perennials - so they'll be back). I really hope they all live and thrive!
A lady bug ("bagh" if you're James) - almost as facinating as worms ("oourgm"):
So far, these are the only flowers that James has picked. He's squashed a few tulips with his feet, but he hasn't tried picking them... yet...
Hopefully this time next year there will be more solomon seals to show off. And more tulips.. I love tulips. But probably not more babies (make that a definately) although I do love babies.
Jacki - I'm reading the following books/recently finished because I don't like reading more than one book at a time:
- When Sinners Say "I Do" by I don't know and the book's in Eli's room and he's sleeping. About being a sinner and being married to one.
- Attonement Child by Francine Rivers: novel, really intense, really feel good at the end.
- Bible (James, Proverbs)
- Saint by Ted Dekker: novel, action packed, little on the weird side, very addicting - typical Ted Dekker book.
- Obsessed by Ted Dekker: see above.
- Hood by Steven Lawhead: novel about Robin Hood, little old-englishy (but don't tell tristan), christian themes
- Scarlet by Steven Lawhead: part two to Hood

that's a big list of books! how do you find time to sit and read?
Eli's hair looks much darker than James' was, or has James' just lightened a lot? They are both looking so handsome :)
your flowers are amazing. Seriously. I wish I had the motivation to make our yard look like that...
I hear you Elly - for me it's kids and taking pictures (as opposed to flowers). I'm not entirely well-balanced but I sure am happy! :) Your flowers are amazing. I wish I could come sit in your yard and let Ellie and James have a blast with the bugs together. Then again, Ellie nearly had a heart attack last week when a fly was in the house. She didn't remember what they were from last year. :) Sounds like you have more books on the go than me!! If you're like me though, you only get a smidgen read at a time before someone is calling for something. Oh well...we take what we can get!!
Beautiful garden Elly! I wish I could have a garden like that! Hopefully one day I will have a yard and a garden, but until then I'll stick to planting in pots!
