Six years ago today (October 19th, 1999), we were welcoming Elijah Kellen Magruder into the world! Since that day, he has grown to be an individual who is characterized by a razor-sharp mind, a vivid imagination, a tender heart, a mouth that runs even more than his dad's (which... granted... is pretty hard to believe), and a nearly tireless love of food and cooking. Ask Elijah what he wants to be when he grows up and he will probably tell you that he wants to be a chef... along with a Predator-US Navy SEAL-inventor-writer/actor. Shown here are picture of Elijah opening a children sized chef-hat and apron that his mom found on-line, along with a superb gourmet children's cook-book, which Elijah has already enjoyed pouring over to find
delectible desserts and entrees. Along with the chef-gear, he also received a cool telescope/microscope from Mim and Pip, a Predator action figure, and also had a great birthday party at Kindergarten in which he got to hold a globe and "rotate around the sun" (a candle lit in the middle of the room) to symbolize the 6 years that he has been alive. No, it wasn't an ancient Druid ritual or require that we sacrifice a chicken afterward. Yes, it really was cute, despite the pagan sound to its description.
It was a very
good day!
