- Franklin, Tennessee
- We have only been married 6 years, but this one thing we know...we want our lives to make a difference for the Kingdom of God in the country of Guatemala. We love so many of this country's precious children, and by the grace of God we were given the incredible gift of adopting one of them! Her name is Eliana Hope Wheeler...and this is her story (along with our journey on the long road called adoption)! The story doesn't end here....God is calling us to more. Thank you for joining with us....for praying for us....and for loving these kids!! We are so grateful for each of you.

Oh, I am so excited for you! Our Lord is so good! I am so glad you were able to watch your baby girl crawl. She is beautiful! I can't wait for her to play with Samantha and Finley! Our girls are going to love each other. I can just see them putting on a fashion show for us! Enjoy every moment!
So cool that she waited for her mommy and daddy to do that!!!
I know that if she makes my heart melt that you must be putty in her hands.
I think her and Eliot need to meet soon!!!!
She is AMAZING!!! How neat that you got to experience her first crawl!! Thank you God! Way to go Eliana! I know you guys are just in heaven being with her. Can't wait to see more!
Have fun!

That was the sweetest thing ever. God is so good to have allowed you to be there to witness such a huge event in the life of your precious girl. My prayer is that you are present for every other first she has from here on out!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! well now that i'm crying my eyes out at that precious little thing, it makes me want to be there even more! i hope you guys are having fun and can't wait to talk to you when you get back!! hugs and kisses from AUNT LEAH!
That smile at the end kills me!!! We are rooting for you guys, and will be praying for Eliana to recover quickly from her cold. (although sometimes them being sick gives you extra snuggle time...)
So excited that you guys are there, and finally with your sweetie and family too.
Blessings!!!
Amy, Matt and Nyah
How cool is that! I am so happy you were able to be there and even better, catch it on video! I love the smile at the end. She looks so proud of herself. Crawling (in my opinion) is a HUGE developmental milestone. Congratulations!
Reba
I'm so excited for you two and her smile...how beautiful!
