Making wishes.

Today we took a little drive into Oregon City and visited the historic John McLoughlin house. They have this beautiful water fountain made in the 1800's and Elijah insisted on making a wish. Daddy gave him a couple coins, and to my surprise Elijah turned toward the fountain and threw the coin in and said, "a wish for Mommy." It really warmed my heart that my 3 years old would take his first wish coin and make a wish just for me. I have a feeling whatever he wished for Mommy will come true.
 This photo will forever be dear to my heart.

Crane Family Garden 2012

Kyle, Elijah are enjoying beautiful summer months here in Oregon.. It's so special as a family being back at our garden watching the little seedlings we planted turn into fresh veggies, peppers, pumpkins and more. This year we planted a pole bean Teepee Elijah says, "butterflies live in it." I like to think they do too.
