Our sweet baby Elliott turns ONE on March 20th! Although we are SO excited to simply celebrate the past year of his life, we also feel prompted to turn his birthday celebration outward and change the lives of a family in need.

Elliott dropped his toys and immediately started looking for the book, and then found it! We decided to put it beneath another book and see if he… Continue reading Jesus Loves Elliott

Thankful…still!
This post is a little late, but since we’re STILL thankful, I figured it would be okay to post a post-Thanksgiving post :). (How many times and different ways can YOU use “post” in a sentence?) We had a very unique Thanksgiving this year! The staff wanted to celebrate, despite the fact that we were… Continue reading Thankful…still!
