Eight years ago today, a beautiful, much-wanted little boy came into the world.
We named him Elias Jeremiah, meaning “The Lord is my God; God will raise up.”
His funny personality was evident very early in his young life…
He hit all his milestones early and walked at 8 1/2 months…
And after that, it was impossible to keep him still or quiet.
But that’s OK, because he had a lot of interesting things to say…
And lots of fun places to go…
And he’s grown so fast, I can barely keep up with him.
Last night he opened his first round of presents…
I hope that he always knows what a gift he is to me.
Happy Birthday, Eli. Daddy, Zach, Jonah and I love you more than you’ll ever know.
