More Elliot

I walked out into the dining room this morning at 6:45am to find Elliot doing his homework.  ??

"I'm doing it now so that I don't feel rushed when I do it tonight, mama.  Could you give me a practice spelling test in a minute?"

This kid.

Recent quotes from Elliot

During our family prayer time, we were explaining to Elliot that we needed to pray for our president, and all people in leadership.  "So let's pray for Barak Obama," I said.

"How about Ron Paul?" he says.

Michael and I just looked at each other.  What does this kid know about Ron Paul?

Several months ago Elliot told us, "Mama, I don't like Obama."
"Why is that?" I asked.
"He likes change.  And I don't like change."
Surely this child is Jack reincarnated.

Halloween 2012


Nine children.  Three moms.  Two dads.  We literally stopped traffic.  It was a good time.
