Eli is 6

Before I get too backlogged, and have more birthdays and life tid-bits to catch up on, I must shine some light on young Master Eli!!

Eli made his grand debut 6 years ago on April 14th. That is quite simply hard to believe; so much has happened in 6 years! And to celebrate we spread the activities out through the week- why only celebrate for one day? Joseph was out of town, so on a whim I decided to start the celebrating the night before with bowling at UCM.

That was a good time, and I especially liked it because they have $1 bowling at 8pm on Wednesdays, and I did what any really amazing mother would do on a school night and we stayed out late!

On Thursday for his actual birthday, I did the standard take treats in to his class and had lunch with him, then I picked him up a little early and we raced out to Powell Gardens. Now when I say race, I mean just that because they still close at 5pm and it takes 20 minutes to get there. We met up with our friends and had some high paced enjoyment at the gardens!

Right now they have Fairy Houses on display and can you guess what my children have been doing since then?? Yes, it looks like we will have a summer full of creating houses from the earthly treasures around our home- I love to see their creativity!

Oh sweet flowering Japanese Quince and vibrant tulips- you make me happy!
