~Father's Day, Eljiha pics, and more~

I'm back. After leaving Illinois last Friday we went to my parents house for Father's Day weekend. We had a lot of fun visiting with them, my Grandma who will soon be 101, and with my sister Laura and her family. Our precious Elijah is now one month and is growing great. He scored very well with his growth at his one month check-up. He is a tad on the collicky side, so your prayers would be appreciated that he will sleep well at nights so that I can get my rest too. =D I'm sure Elijah can feel our stress as we are trying to get everything done before we leave to go back to Colombia. PLEASE HELP US PRAY THAT WE CAN GET OUR KIDS' PASSPORTS SOON! THANKS~ Enjoy the photos that I have posted.
~While with my parents over Father's Day weekend...My Daddy wanted Phillip to help him hang a bear skin from my brother Andrew...so before he hung it, Phillip put it on and went out and had fun chasing our kids and their cousins.~~While we were at the cabins in the Amish country, we bought these pinafores and bonnets for our girls to play dress us with.~
~Elijah smiling while he sleeps!~

~Our girls and their cousins dressed up old fashioned and had a blast playing outside together.~

Loved the pictures. Eljiah is growing so fast and is very adorable. When do you leave to go back to Columbia?

Kimberly said...

I've ben thinking of you...wondering when your visit here will end. So wish our paths could have crossed. Elijah is so adorable! (Maybe send me an email if you are able if you aren't comfortable posting when you're going back to Columbia....my Uncle Dwight was just there for a week to meet his new wife's extended family. Isn't life strange?!)

I love the generations picture! I can't imagine having a relative live to be over 100, what a blessing!

Enjoying your photos and stories. Isn't it nice to have a flat belly and hold a baby?! :-) I just regret that we seem to go through so much misery to get them here, and they grow up quickly!

Kimberly is going to be one awesome little mother when she grows up! I'm sure she is a priceless help to you!

So enjoyed the pictures. My Faith liked your daughters' dress up clothes! Hope that your son will not be collicky for long! Faith was a bit concerned with the bearskin photo, too. I think she thought it was a real animal! You all are beautiful! Keep encouraged!
