Living and Reliving Memories

Elijah has been growing so fast and it's hard to get enough pictures posted.  Wednesday, he had his first bath sitting in the bath tub instead of laying in a baby bath.  He really liked splashing the water with his feet.  He also liked chewing on bath toys and his brush and comb.

The neat thing for me with Elijah is we are still living in the same house as when Jonathan was a baby.  It's like going through some of the same memories.  I'm sure I have this same picture of Jonathan using the same bathring.  Before long I will take a picture of Elijah sitting in the same high chair as well.  It's hard to believe that when we first came here Jonathan wasn't walking yet. 

These repeat memories are kind of neat.  They may seem simple to some who have lived in the same house for most of their children's childhood, but as a Preacher's family we've moved around a lot.  The longest we have stayed at one church was five years and even then we moved into three different homes.  Now you may see why these repeat memories are exciting for me. 

The older three children and Scott passed their belt tests Tuesday.  Everyone there talked about how they can see Hannah being a Sinsei one day.  Jonathan has been enjoying the little kids class.  I've been enjoying helping in the class as well.  For a couple of weeks I wasn't able to participate in all the classes,  Scott's car wasn't running and we had to take turns between the classes.  We were very glad when Monday, Scott fixed the car.  It turned out being the starter that had gone out.  He fixed it at a very good time, since Tuesday we had park day with our homeschool group and karate class following.  Then Wednesday we had Elijah's doctor's appointment.  Then karate on Thursday.  Today, we finally stay home.  Tomorrow, there will be a visiting Sensei from another dojo.    Our Sensei invited the big kids class to participate with the adult class that day.  I will also be working on my Sunday School lesson tomorrow.

And right now Hannah has brought me her book and is ready for her reading lesson.  We are working on the letter E today.  This should be a good weekend.  I'll try to post more soon.
