shot put & javelin??

Jonah qualified to try out for the Knox Track & Field Team to represent the school at the Private Schools State Championships in Shot Put and Javelin. Jonah placed 6th in Shot Put and FIRST PLACE in Javelin (for his year!) Now he will train and try to learn how to actually throw a javelin and hopefully improve his throw. I guess he threw it like a baseball, but hey - it worked!

My photography blog.

I decided to start a photography blog where I am trying to post a photo every day to improve my skills. If you are interested here is the link. I am posting it to the sidebar in case you are interested in checking it every now and again. I'm having such fun learning photography - it is something I've wanted to do for years. Enjoy!

Another Elijah story.

Well Kindergarteners are a laugh a minute. Here is a story from today:

Mommy: "Elijah you need to work on your homework"
Elijah: "I have news tomorrow Mommy so I need to get my items . . ."
Mommy: "No Elijah, tomorrow is Wednesday, you have news on Friday"
Elijah: "No Mommmy, today is Wednesday and tomorrow is Friday"
Mommy: "Elijah, if today is Wednesday then tomorrow would be Thursday, but today is Tuesday."
Elijah: "MOMMY, TODAY IS WEDNESDAY AND I HAVE NEWS TOMORROW!"
Mommy: Elijah, If tomorrow is Friday then you better do your homework because it was due today (Thursday?!)

Mommy cracks up at herself. and at this entire conversation.

Letters that begin with "I"

Elijah & I were doing his Kindergarten homework. His assignment was to find pictures of items beginning with the letter "I". After brainstorming and searching for a few minutes Elijah asked: "Mommy can you type that in Google?"

Matt & I had a very good laugh.

Matt says this is the sign of a modern Kindergartener :)
