" I Wove OO"

It's funny yesterday I was reading on Tracy's blog about how little Bryson was telling her I love you. I was thinking when is my little E going to say it? I've been trying for a while to get him to say it to no avail. Last night I was laying down with him and I said " I love you Eli" and he said back " I wove oo". Oh it was so wonderful, I shed a little tear of joy, and tried to get him to say it about a hundred more times so he wouldn't forget!! To my great joy he woke up this morning and said to his sister " I wove oo Katy"! Oh how we love this boy!!!

Happy Birthday Elijah!!

We eagerly awaited Elijah's arrival. We didn't know if he was a boy or a girl.

Our first family picture. You can barely see him he is the little bundle on my lap. He was surprisingly 9lb 6oz! I thought I read the numbers backward on the scale! He was ten days early for crying out loud. Thank the Lord he came early!!

This was taken before church, I loved that little outfit.

He was such a little chunker! Check out those rolls on his arms.

This past weekend we celebrated my sweet Eli's second birthday. It is really hard to believe it has already been two years. I know people say that all the time but really... it flew by. Elijah has been such a joy for our family. He is a bundle of laughs and smiles. He is going, going, going all day! I never imagined that he would make such a tremendous impact on our family. I feel blessed beyond words to have been given the privilege of being his mom. I know that God gives us our children and their personalities for a specific reason. He has definitely made me more laid back and not so worried all the time that he is going to get hurt. Boys will be boys and he for sure fits that saying. He jumps off tables, down stairs, rides a skateboard and can shoot a basketball with amazing precision for a two year old. He is fascinated with bugs and will pick them up and bring it to you saying "mom bug". I love that boy with all my heart!! He is so special to our family. His sisters adore him, and he knows it!! We are looking forward to another year full of laughs with this little guy.
Blogger will not let me post anymore pictures right now so I will post some birthday pictures later today.

Random pictures

My best friend from Florida came to visit, here is her daughter Kayden and Katelyn.

This is Faith and her long time friend Chase.

This picture was taken at Thanksgiving. I just love how you can see Katy's hands around her brother. She just loves him.

Here are some random pictures from the past few weeks. It has been crazy around here lately. I don't have time to write out a long post but I got tired of seeing the old post every time I got on my blog to see someone else's!
