Elisha's Fifth Birthday!

Amazingly, it's been five years since Elisha was born. He is growing into a very caring and considerate, funny, tender-hearted, smart fellow - all credit to his Mommy Jessica. It's a joy to be his Grammy. He wanted his birthday dinner at the chinese restaurant - and the one thing he had consistently requested was a wallet. The celebration was just a prelude to his party the next day.. This first pic is his party at his daycare.




After a very rainy birthday, the day of his party turned out sunny and relatively warm. Jessica invited friends and family to Elisha's backyard "campout" party. We all came to roast hotdogs and make s'mores. Mikayla said it was the best birthday party ever! and I have to say that the ooey-gooey hot melty chocolate-marshmallow s'mores were better than birthday cake! Good call, Jes!








There were tents for playing and spooky stories - complete with Joe in a scary mask!





Happy Birthday, Elisha!

Fall in Virginia

I went on a mini-adventure today to a waterfall above the Smith River in Henry County VA. Beautiful...
