Fall 2009

First of all, thank you all for your words of encouragement. We appreciate all the prayers on our behalf.

Secondly, I am very behind with the blogging so here is our Fall 2009 so far...

Getting used to spending every Saturday at Alemu's soccer games - and loving the fact that the parent's think Elias is super cute and give him candy!

He's thinks he's 11 just like the other boys. Always in the mix.

First campfire and smores :)

First goose egg :(

Enjoying Fall in San Diego...still have to learn the difference between Basketball and Soccer

Pumpkin Patch - and yes it was 85 degrees the weekend before Halloween

Alemu's Cross Country Race - he came in first!

First Halloween! We had a great plan. Elias was going to be Curious George and Brian was going to be the Man in the Yellow Hat. With all the stuff that has been going on the past few weeks Halloween was put on the very back burner and Emily and I didn't start looking for costumes until Thursday afternoon. After 3 stores I was exhausted. Everything was cleaned out. We had the choices of a girly looking cow or Elmo. Of course, right now Elmo is Elias' favorite person. When he saw this costume he grabbed it, hugged it, kissed it and wouldn't let go. We had to distract him with the Elmo I was buying him for Christmas in order to pry the costume out of his hands. This is not the cutsie costume I wanted my son to be in but it is the one he wanted. Who knew that my one year old would be opinionated enough to practically be picking out his own first halloween costume? Oh well, there's always next year for cutsie. Meanwhile, here is E-Wok Elmo Elias :)
