Elijah's Summer Adventure Part 1

Hi! My name is Elijah and I want to talk to you about school. At the beginning of the school year August, until February, I wasn't paying attention. Instead of paying attention, I was distracted by my friends and I started playing with them. I attend a Spanish Immersion program where I learn to speak in Spanish. All of my subjects are taught in this language. Towards the end of the year, I started paying. My mom, my dad Mathew and my teacher had to meet with the principle to talk about my progress. I was sad. I really love my school. So, I get to work on my summer reading and math packets with my Oma.

This summer, I will be blogging about my summer adventures with my Oma Everyday.

Stay tuned. Please comment.

So, I thought that I would update you on the garden. The pic of McKenzie shows you what the garden looked like before. It is amazing to see how wonderful God has created the world. I am often amazed that the choices that were made oh so long ago, still hold today. The other day when we were there, D said why do we have to work the soil, I explained to him that man was cursed to toil the soil all the days of his life. Everything that we need has come from the ground. He looked and me and smiled. Yes D even your i-pod.
The boys are excited to see things growing and even more excited to find out that we can enjoy the fruits of our labor.....really. The corn has a strong start and the peas have been nibbled on by rabbits. I have a fence but have yet to put it up.
MY potatoes have started to bloom with white flowers, underground spuds are growing. We sound have blueberries next summer and we are trying to grow carrots. The boys have these tricoloured green beans. I hate green beans. I remember being at 100 mile house with my aunt and uncle. They had a green house with those beans. I ate enough to last a few life times.I am so glad to have learned gardening with my aunt and uncle. Love you guys.

Elijah had to go to work with me last Saturday. My job location Grass Lawn Park in Redmond. Working for the US Census has provin to be a wonderful, stressful experience. So, I am a crew lead assistant, basically, I meet with the crew and go over paperwork. The government loves paperwork. McKenzie and D went to work with mathew so it was just E and me. I took some pics on that glorious sunny day. Enjoy

So many people that know the boys, may know that D is the one who loves to cook. The flip side to that is, I think that he loves the end product.
Elijah has taken to the kitchen like it is a natural gift. Since his physical activities have been cut due to the leg, he has shown interest. The YMCA has cooking classes for kids. Elijah went in April and learned to make wagon wheels. So simple yet Divine. For the last few weeks, Elijah has decided to plan meals and cook them for dinner. He said the least he can do is help mom and Matt since we have been putting in very long hours with work. He is my miracle child. Who would of thought that a child that was so early would have it together at such a young age. I almost want another one....ALMOST.
