One year with Elijah!

Happy Family Day Elijah!
I cannot believe it's been a year since we first held Elijah in our arms. And a year since the first smile, the first wave, the first giggle, and the first kisses. Thank you to Elijah's birth mom for choosing life and sharing a piece of your heart. You may never know what happened to that little boy with chubby cheeks, but I pray God gives you peace that he is loved and cared for. Thank you to family and friends that have provided unwavering support since we began this journey.
This year held fulfilled dreams, countless snuggles, endless adventure, and so very many sleepless nights. We are blessed beyond measure with our two sons, that keep us entertained and smiling every day. We've also discovered parenting gets harder as they get older, but praise God his grace is new everyday.
This evening we celebrated Family Day with dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant. We enjoyed cake from Dewey's and time with extended family. May we remember this day each year as a day of love defeating loss, and a reflection of the Gospel. Thank you God for the blessing of children, family, and salvation.
