Today Eli turns 7! WOW! It doesn't seem possible. I remember bringing him home from the hospital just two days before Christmas. I remember him sitting in a bouncer seat as we celebrated Jesus birthday.
This little man is a JOY! You can tell by his face he is just all fun and boy and smiles and laughter.
We got the nicest compliment this week. While we were celebrating Uncle Ryan's life, ,a cousin was greeting us and said, "Ryan could always light up a room with his smile. I thought I would never see someone who could do that like him, but your Eli - he has it. His smile lights up rooms."
It's true too! He's the kind of boy you love to be around. The kind that can make you laugh and just brings so much joy to our home. Eli is a smart little man too and his desire to be a preacher someday like his Daddy makes us so proud! He's passionate and sweet and kind and loving, but mostly he's joyful and fun loving! He's Eli and we are so blessed to have the privilege of parenting him!
Today we celebrate Eli and the joy he brings! We celebrate his seven years of life and look forward with anticipation to what the Lord will do in and through him! I'll post more on our celebration, but for now - know that today there is JOY!
