Welcome to our blog. Hope you enjoy!

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!

Our growing boy

This past week our boy really amazed us as he continues to grow so fast! Eli has been saying "dada" now for awhile but he has finally begun saying "mama." He thinks its really fun to say dada when we say mama though. We might have a little stinker on our hands.

Eli has also gotten up on all fours, rocked, reached, rolled, everything short of crawling. So we anticipate that any day now.

Our sweet boy has also begun standing for pretty good lengths of time while in his jumperoo, holding on to his pack and play, us, or other furniture. We are also thinking that he won't crawl for long before beginning to walk. Here are some fun pictures from this week.


These are a couple of Eli working with daddy. :)


And this was yesterday's church outfit that daddy picked out. Unfortunately you cannot see the best part, Eli's Cardinal socks!
