Just thought you might like a peek at our delectable breakfasts lately...fresh nectarines and huckleberries that we picked ourselves. Soooo good! Huckleberries are my new favorite food, I think! They are selling in town for close to $50/gallon. I think that the refreshment we gain from picking them off the mountains is reason enough not to buy them! Imagine yourself with huckleberry-stained fingers, gulping in beautiful fresh air while you ravenously gaze at God's majesty all around, tasting these wildly good purple berries as you go -- and I think you get the picture! 
These two pictures are some of Elijah's expressions when I come to get him in the morning. He is always so happy when he first gets up. It's my favorite time of day with him.
We were so blessed with a quick trip to Banff, Canada just over a week ago. We went to meet up with my brother and his friend who were on their way back from Alaska. We left after Todd finished work, pulled into the campsite about midnight and crashed! Elijah and I slept in the van, and it was our first experience with using Elijah's feeding pump away from electrical outlets. No problems! 'Beauty' does nothing to describe what we saw. I am awed by a God whose creativity knows no limits.
We found a trail that Elijah's chair did pretty well on, at least for a little way. Maybe we're going to have to look into sled dogs for Elijah when we go hiking...Todd's parents have been here for a few days, so we'll keep you posted on our adventures with them. They are a huge blessing to us!

Julie. I cannot even tell you how much that first picture of Elijah makes me smile and cry at the same time. It is so beautiful. Love you, and miss you!!
Julie,
Your family is so beautiful. God bless.
Oh, sights you don't see in the good ol' Philippines. Tall Pines, clean babbling creeks, noone for miles. Aaah. Something to be thankful for!! And enjoy those yummy huckleberries. We used to mix them in plain yogurt. Mmmmm.
