It's About Time!

For all of you who check our blog regularly, sorry that we haven't updated in a long, long time! Gail is now a full-time seminary student, as well, so time is a rare and precious commodity in our home. Elijah will be turning two at the end of this week. In preparation for his birthday we have decided to post a couple of videos Gail was able to sneak with her phone! Elijah has figured out how to turn on the alarm-clock radio in his bedroom. Here's what happens.

Footage from last summer!!!

Hi friends! We found this footage from last summer and thought that it might be enjoyable! Fun times, indeed!

Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma Brecht's!

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Brecht's house on Christmas Day! It was loads of fun and food and presents. Elijah must have been really, really, really, really good this year because Grandma (and Santa, but mostly Grandma) got him a LOT of presents!

Here is the play-by-play:

First, Elijah though he'd be funny and help re-decorate the Christmas tree.

Santa? How did this little bitty person bring Elijah such big presents?

Dad, "Hey, don't mess with that!" Elijah, "No, really, Dad, I can reach it!"

"See!"

Elijah finds creative uses for the Mega Blocks and his new school bus...

"Gosh, dad. I just don't know. Both cars look awesome. Don't you agree?"

Elijah and Grace thought that Santa might come two nights in a row... so they watched diligently!

Cousin Kailey was there, too. She much of the day looking cute, smiling, and chewing on the pink Elephant! She was living the dream.

We had a great time in Cincinnati with Gail's family! Elijah had fun playing with his little cousin Sam. Sam told Elijah about yogurt covered raisins!
