So Fall has begun to set in but that is not slowing us down. Since August we have had some ups and downs. Eli started going to school two days a week at our church. He is loving it. He is learning how to be patient, color, play with other kids. They get to sing and dance as part of morning worship. He is catching on to his ABC's and loves to say part of it anyhow. He can count more and more and just the other day he learned how to count to 5 in Spanish. I guess I need to start brushing up on my Spanish I learned.....**cough, cough** back in elementary. haha. Eli also started potty training the week before school and has been doing really great! We are working on staying dry overnight now. He has had a few accidents but he is learning.
On Labor Day, Fan and I got into a motorcycle accident. We were not badly injured, a few bruises here and there and I had half of a Bodark thorn stuck in my thigh. I was one "tough cookie" as the guys put when they talked to Fan after the wreck, because I didnt cry or shed a tear. We ended up totaling the bike, however. After that Fan said he was done with bikes for a while and wanted a boat. So we got a nice older model Monterey Montura boat and have been on it every weekend since. Eli LOVES it! He says its his boat.
In September, I found I was pregnant again, but because of last year Fan and I decided to keep it a secret. It's really hard not to tell anyone, but we wanted to be sure before I announced it to everyone. In late September I miscarried this pregnancy. I know God has a plan for us and for our next child and the timing may not be just right yet. All three of us are doing well and are very thankful for Eli and his energy.
Eli and I have visited out local Pumpkin Patch at a near by church. I take him there every year and take pictures of course. Except this year Eli and I picked out 2 really good pumkins and went and got carving stencils. I carved one for Eli and Fan carved the other one. They turned out pretty good and Eli had fun pulling out its guts. haha. Just like my dad use to do, I took the seeds and boiled them down in salt water and then baked them. mmmmmm. Cooked pumpkin seeds makes for a yummy snack.
Fan has been ever so busy at work during the week. Makes for good paychecks but less time with Eli and I, so we spend as much time together on the weekends and we have as much fun as we can. I decided to start up in photography, I take awesome photos of just about anything I think is beautiful, then edit it and voila! Our Oklahoma State Fair has a photography contest each year and only about 50 people are allowed to enter, so that is what I did. Although I didnt win I still had fun. As of right now I have decided to call my photography: Castles N The Sky Photography. I think I may also try my hand at making baby quilts, but for now I am trying to get my house back in order and kept clean so that we can sell it and get a bigger house. One with more room to grow. Eventually, I want to plant a garden and have fresh fruits and veggies and herbs so then I dont have to go to the grocery store as often....that way we wont have a lot of processed foods.
Another thought I had is to collect homemade from scratch recipes and make my own little cook book. Eli loves to help out more in the kitchen and I think it is awesome if I can only get him to continue liking it. haha. Life is moving along and so many wonderful memories.
Loves and Kisses
Fan, Sara and Elijah
