Eli Michael

On 2/22/02 at 12:02 am (my nurse swore that was the actual time) we were blessed with a boy! Truly blessed. Eli is a one-of-a-kind kid and we are so grateful to have him in our family. He was the happiest baby ever and still has an overall mellowness about him. I've never met anyone with a more kind and tender heart.
Our little family of 4!
This is one of my all-time favorite pictures ever.

Disneyland- almost 1
Very much WAY into daddy from day 1. As a newborn he literally used to watch Dana walk around the apartment.
3 years old
He LOVED dress-up more than anything for a long time. He got a Spiderman costume when he was 4 for Christmas. I remember it wasn't until February that I actually saw him willingly take the costume off.

Eli is-
a great reader
very imaginative
a good artist and LOVES to draw
super kind to his friends
not shy and loves people
extra loving to Sadie
very helpful
silly and loves when people think he's funny
HAPPY, HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!! It seems to me you're getting your wish and growing up really fast.

Well you've been having a lot of bdays lately. Holly must be the only one that has a fall bday. Haven't the last three been in the last two weeks or so? He was so cute in front of the primary today. And I didn't know that he and Mari Miner were born the exact same day. Happy birthday to a cute and sweet boy.
