Technical Difficulties

Technical difficulties have prevented me from posting lately because I prefer to write posts with pictures. The cord that connects our camera and video camera to the computer has gone missing, so I have a lot of pictures that are stuck on the camera. :( But since its been so long, I felt the need to keep the blog updated because now it is getting overwhelming at how much I could write about. Which, on top of how slow our computer is,and an active baby, adds to the list of reasons that will keep me procrastinating. So, no more excuses, here is a (non-comprehensive) list of what has been going on in our life.

- Tim is finishing week one of a two week roof project that he is helping a seminary friend with. Tim has been able to work several odd jobs along with substitute teaching since school started.

- We were able to spend several days with my aunt and uncle who were visiting from Texas. They had not yet met Elijah so it was fun to show him off. And I got to improve my sewing skills by helping my aunt sew for her online business: Heavenly Things for Angels on Earth

- Elijah is 8 months old (HOW did this happen??) and is army crawling, eating finger foods, drinking from a sippy cup and a straw, and is the most curious (and hungry) boy I have ever met.

- We have begun visiting churches in Grand Rapids in hopes to find one that we will attend once we move. We have been enjoying our visits and hope to find a church so we can begin to establish community before we get to Grand Rapids.

- Elijah has discovered the joys of sitting in a restaurant high chair. He loves to bang on the table and there almost always seems to be a baby girl sitting nearby to stare at. :) He also enjoys riding Sandie the Pony at Meijer and even used his cuteness on an innocent elderly man go get him to give Mommy pennies for a ride.

- We have made a few short trips with Elijah. At the end of August, Tim's parents were camping on Lake Michigan near South Haven so we spent a night out there. My mom and I have taken Elijah several times to Grand Rapids to visit my sister. Elijah LOVES his cousins and could spend the whole day watching them run around. :) He also likes a good visit to the library.
