I love Eli...he is the one who is always with you so I get to see him the most! You are very good at finding good in your children, these are so fun to read! Thanks for sharing! Now I just hope I can get these code words right so this will post!
You have such cool kids and I miss them like crazy. They are all so different but equally great. This list is such a fantastic way to remember the cute things they do that you love but often forget. I am going to start a list of James. Thanks for the inspirations and your great example as a mom.
I love Eli because he is one of the only people who understands my iPhone. I love his blue eyes and freckles and his zest for preschool. I love Eli because I have never prayed so hard or fervently for anyone else in my life. I love Eli because in case I am ever stuck at the motor vehicles for longer than 6 hours--I have Angry Birds on my phone and will be o.k.!
