Elliott turned 5 on March 20–a phrase he has been telling EVERYONE he has met for the last 8 months or so: “Hello, my name is Elliott and I’m turning 5 on March 20th!” To which the person would almost always respond, “You’re 25?” To which I would jump in and correct, “He’s TURNING 5…”… Continue reading Elliott’s 5th Lego Birthday!

I have been praying more than ever lately for my children to have wisdom (more on… Continue reading Love Comes From God
