Eli, my third child, is turning 9 years old today!
Wow...where did the time go?
Wow...where did the time go?
Ever since he was a baby, he had the sweetest disposition. He hardly whined, he never complained, he loved to cuddle, and he just melted your heart with his "smiley eyes."
Here you are, almost at one year old. So sweet! (I had to scan this photo).
When you meet him, you know there is something special. He is ALWAYS looking for the positive in any situation, and genuinely cares for the people he meets. I still remember when he was around 6 years old, his Sunday school teacher would tell me that he was such a blessing in the class because he would not goof off with the other kids. He'd start drawing and that would attract all the boys to him because they were curious about what he was doing.
He's polite, sincere, a leader, sensitive, artistic, smart, loving, creative, and a good friend. Most of all, he loves the Lord! He does not hold back his faith, and will ask questions now and then that will baffle us!
I just pray that we continue to train him up in the Lord, and that God will use him mightily for His kingdom!!
Eli at day camp, doing what he loves the most!
Happy Birthday, my sweet son! You bless us more than you know!

What a cutie pie. He really does have an amazing talent. All of his pictures are so amazing, it's hard to believe he is so young and painting like that already.
This was such a sweet tribute to your son.
Happy Belated birthday Eli!!!

Happy Belated Bday to Eli! He looks like a very handsome young man, you are truly blessed! Mine is turning 15 in 11 days. I look at him and can't belive it has gone by so fast but if it wasn't for him I may not have found Christ! Isn't it amazing how much we can learn from them?
On another note, I don't see the blonde roots hahahaha but I think it would look fabulous on you anyway! ;)
