Happy Birthday, Elijah!

Our little boy is 2 years old today! I can't believe we're celebrating his 2nd birthday with him so far away, but I'm at peace that he is being very well cared for, and our Lord is watching over him and preparing his heart and ours for him and his sister to join us when the paperwork is all through the adoption process. I can't wait for that day when we can come to bring he home, and he can join our home and our family - physically. He's already here in our hearts and our minds!

We love you and miss you, Elijah Ralph! We pray you're having a fun day with your friends and nannies today, and are having a great 2nd birthday! We pray you're home long before your next birthday!

We're planning to go out for pizza and ice cream to celebrate in honor of Elijah's 2nd birthday. Hopefully we can get a good picture to share later tonight, and to keep for Elijah's scrapbook.

We finally tried Old Chicago, and loved it! And you can't go wrong with Dairy Queen! Yumm-O!
