Elijah's Tree

This past weekend we went over to my in-law's farm. It was a nice relaxing weekend (other than helping bag up a cow :) Since we were away from home and a routine is harder anyway, I loved the excuse to spend extra snuggle time with my lovebug.

Jeyson had a great idea a while back and we finally put it into action. We planted a tree for Eli so every year we can watch it grow along with him. We decided on a Jatoba since they grow to be huge and sturdy like this one.

And we decided to plant it over at Jeyson's parents' farm since we don't know where we will be living long term and plus our yard (if you can call it that!) is FAR to small anyway. Jeyson's parents loved the idea so we loaded our $2 tree into the wagon and found the perfect spot.

It was perfect to plant during rainy season too so hopefully it will get off to a strong start before dry season arrives.

So tiny!

Every once in a while we'll take of Elijah next to his tree. Here's the first one!

I loved his feet getting a little dirt on them for the first time. I can't wait until he's running around and making mud pies :)

By the end Mr. Elijah was done...(Oops I lost track of the time and I forgot to feed him!)

Afterwards, hanging out with Opa. We just love watching this boy grow...though I hope it doesn't happen too fast!
