About Us

We moved from STL to NC in 2007 and love living on the east coast. Living here, we have been blessed to explore more of the US. In 2008, we added our beautiful yellow lab, Chloe, to the family. See below for more about her. God has greatly blessed us with another addition to our family, our sweet boy, Elijah John aka Eli. Eli was born on January 23, 2011. At 12 days old, Eli required heart surgery for a narrowing of his aorta. We only found out two days prior to the surgery but our family was very blessed to have so many people praying for us. Thanks to Jesus, the healer and perfecter of all things and the excellent care at Duke, Eli is now a perfectly healthy, growing boy. We have created this blog for our friends and family to see more of our growing family! Check out the slideshow to catch up on Eli's growth over his first six months!

Eli ate sweet potatoes for the first time today!

Our boy can't seem to get enough food! Here he is eating sweet potatoes for the first time while we hung out with friends at Mike and Emily's house this afternoon.


He is up to two servings of veggies a day, four bottles, and one serving of cereal. He didn't care much for the thinner cereal out of a spoon so we recently started thickening it up and he's doing better. We plan to increase to two servings of cereal a day and start adding a fruit in the next week or so.


It's amazing how focused he can be when it comes to eating. He now has his mouth open ready for more before I can even scoop it out! Such a good boy.
