Oh, what to say of my middlest boy?? He’s quiet and thoughtful in one moment, and completely irrepressible in the next! Silly and sweet and funny. Brilliant and oh, so beautiful, with his deep blue eyes, rimmed with long lashes and his sweet little dimples…
I felt Elijah coming to us for so long before we had him. When I was pregnant I had a dream of a dark-haired, blue-eyed baby who looked at me and told me that his name was Elijah. I told Steve that if, when he was born, he was indeed the baby of my dream, then we had to use the name. Elijah- Hebrew- ‘The lord is my god’ or ‘Faithful to God’. We named him Elijah Rain. Iain choose Rain and it fit, for so many reasons. When he was born, I had never met another Elijah, but the name seems to be getting quite popular lately.
Eggs- Green ones. I think they are so pretty! Really, I want to, like, decorate with them or something… yes, I know I’m weird.
Yep, that’s one beautiful little chook there! I don’t think I know any Elijahs myself, come to think of it…still a pretty uncommon name for a unique little boy.
Are the green eggs you’re talking about Auracana eggs (or Americanas)?
Yes, Auracanas
Our neighbor keeps them. I had honestly never seen anything other then a white or brown egg before moving to the country. Who knew eggs could be so pretty??
