Still in Idaho

Elijah is ready for the world cup! He has a soccer outfit on and if you look closely, his socks have soccer balls on them too! Go Team USA.
Here is Upper Mesa Falls in eastern Idaho. There is so much water this year! Elijah didn't get to see the river--he had to stay inside because of all of the mosquitoes.

Elijah with Grandpa in nice orange shirts!

Happy Father's Day!

Tubby time! Look at that tummy!
Happy Father's Day!
Just taking a snooze. I've actually been sleeping all day. It's going to be funny tonight to be up with my mom.

So big!

Hi Pop! Oscar is in Arizona for a conference for his job. Elijah misses him and doesn't want Pop to forget what a good lookin' kid he has. Here's the fish-face!
Happy guy, but look at that crazy hair!

Elijah Jean Baptiste Klaas was baptized on June 3, 2006. His godparents are Uncle Luke Klaas and Christy King. What a great day!

Travels!

What a cute smiley boy!

Here is Elijah and his Pop at Auntie Ashley's wedding in Massachusetts. Congratulations Ashley and Ross!

Elijah has now been in 8 airports and is racking up the frequent flyer miles.

Elijah Visits his GG McG's

Great Grandma Liz looks like she has rocked a few babies in her life.

Combined Elijah and his great gramps have 973 months of life. Great Gramps McG has most of them.

Count it up, four generations!

Picture Overload!

EK and Papa. Nice hat kid. Good BSU Bronco colors Papa!

3rd, 4th and 5th generation Klaas man working the family auction

EK gains valuable customer service skills with his Grams. He learned that most folks have the same strategy that he has if things are not the way he wants, it is called whining.

Elijah and his Gramps both cried at the sale. Gramps call is much more pleasing.

Happy Mothers' Day!

Dear Grandma and Grams,

Since this is my first experience with Mothers' day I was not sure what to do. Presents were all but impossible- I don't have any money. I can't even afford the 39 cents to send a card. Making something crafty sounded fun, but I didn't have time (I was only born 2 weeks ago). I was going to write a poem, but I am not sure how to rhyme and I only know one syllable (making haiku impossible). Pop told me that I didn't have to get Grams a present. He said that she isn't my mom and that she would understand. Still I wanted to do something. So, I agreed to pose with Mom and Pop for a picture. I will see you both very soon.

For my mom on her day I went to mass with her and behaved the whole time. Breakfast in bed was great, but then Pop let me know that Mom was the one that is supposed to eat in bed, not me. Again, I was only born two weeks ago so I don't have all this stuff down. Pop agreed to help me out and got Mom some Keen sandals. He thought that was better than my idea of waking her up in the middle of the night and surprising her with a dirty diaper (but I did it anyway).

We are looking forward to tomorrow when Pop finishes his last exam. I haven't been around too long, but I already know there are two things I don't like: tests and being naked in cold rooms. Mom says that sounds pretty normal.

Well, I better go; I'm a little hungry and I need a bath.

Love you both,
EK
