Happy 3rd Birthday, Elijah Ralph!

Today is Elijah's third birthday.

This is the earliest photo we have of Elijah, taken in May, 2007, by another adoptive mom, who was visiting the orphanage the day his mom brought him in:

A more recent photo of him (bottom right), from just a couple weeks ago, with some of his friends:

We love this little guy so much, and can't wait until he can come home! Praying he's home soon, and that he has a wonderful day with all his friends in the toddler room.

Happy birthday sweet boy. I remember the day you arrived at the O. Your birth mommy so patiently did your hair while she waited hours to talk to Linda. Then you got to go to the baby room but you were confused and unhappy. you look much more at home at the O. now but hopefully you will get to go to your real home soon.

We'll be celebrating all day tomorrow at the local amusement park. Just wish he was home to enjoy it with us.
