“Now Elijah is eight and he has teeth like a shark. He’s full of giggles and likes to play jokes on people. He sings in a choir and reads everything he comes across. He likes to go fishing and play baseball. He carves little gnomes and makes beautiful pictures of robins. Elijah has grown strong and beautiful, smart and kind and we are happy to be here with him on his 8th birthday. “

~He of the Goofy Grin (he never seems to get that gap toothed grin that other kids get. His adult teeth always come most of the way in before his baby teeth fall out. Currently his middle top teeth are being pushed way forward by the adult teeth behind)~

With all of the sewing and photography updates from over the weekend, I never did get around to posting about Mr. Elijah Rain’s birthday (and since then I’ve been busy… *blush* bopping around checking out everyone else’s giveaways).
