our lives changed forever.
elijah was born.
here he is just a few hours old =)
already sucking his thumb -- love it!

i love this picture -- so snuggly and warm
i remember taking this picture
daddy loving his firstborn son
...priceless
the grandparents & new daddy looking on
elijah was a pretty easy baby
(as easy as it can be for new parents)
yes, we were sleep deprived but he only cried if he was hungry or sleepy!!!
we were so blessed!!
and here our boy is 5 years later...



this child has my heart.
he is my pride & joy.
he was such a HUGE help to me when jim was deployed.
he was a trooper.
he is definitely ALL boy =)
he loves his brother to pieces.
he is 90 to nothing ALL day long...
ask anybody & they will tell you.
it's so hard for me to believe that he is 5!!!
elijah,
i love you more than my words or actions could ever express.
you are a joy & a delight.
you are always making us laugh.
i love to hear you sing along with me at nighttime...especially the worship songs.
i love your fun little personality.
the lord has amazing things planned for you sweet boy!!!
follow jesus and keep your eyes on HIM!!!
happy 5th birthday elijah!!!
