Updates

Hi to all who check out our blog faithfully. Our apologies that we do not update it faithfully! What is life like right now?
1. Gail and I are in full swing with classes again. We are both as busy as we've ever been with classes and extra responsibilities (I have still not learned the art of saying, "no").

2. Elijah is potty training. We seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it appears as though he has nearly gotten it down....and then one of the Brecht family is cleaning up poo again. (hint, it is usually not Elijah doing the cleaning)

3. Gail and I are playing a lot of music again since I am on the staff to coordinate daily chapel music this year. It has been great for us to be able to play together more often!

4. Elijah now sings Mary Had a Little Lamb on key! He has not composed any symphonies yet, but we figure that singing in tune is a good start!

Elijah of the Jungle

Well, Elijah can talk quite well these days. However sometimes he reverts to animal sounds. The sounds are ok, but we like the faces that, apparently, have to accompany the sounds. Enjoy!

Just showed Elijah his new potty.
