Ok,
I don't write often but I should because there is so much to tell!
This video is a little older but we thought it was still worth showing! When laying in her bed, she will just talk to herself and even make herself laugh. Eliana is truly hilarious to me. She makes me laugh every day. To say she's sassy is an understatement. Her personality is getting bigger and bigger.
She loves to transfer things from one location to another. Today she was way into helping me move clothes from the washer to the dryer. We moved them one at a time...like one single sock at a time! She's learning how to help out !
I keep telling myself that this will all be gone so soon and I'm trying to be as intentional as I can to enjoy each day for what it is...everyone says it goes by so fast.
Happy Twenty-One Months Eliana, we love you so much!
Grace and Peace,
Chris
PS A big shout out and thank you from Linds for all the great ideas on money making possibilities! Keep those coming if you think of more!
This is probably one of the hardest posts that I have written in a long time. Many of you that have followed us from the beginning have prayed for precious Xiomara!! For those that don't know her story, click HERE. The Lord brought her in our lives when we least expected it....without her, we would never have found our precious Eliana. A lot has gone on with her case in the last year and a half.....and most of it we were told not to voice on our blog. The last few days have been pretty tough for Chris and me. We have cried and prayed and cried some more. We found our that precious Xiomara is being adopted by a Guatemalan couple!! PLEASE HEAR ME, we are BEYOND THRILLED that she is being adopted.....that she will have a forever family. The selfish part of me is just grieving that she will not be in our family. We were also told that she was NOT adoptable....so we are having to sort through feelings of hurt there too. The bottom line is that we LOVE this girl....we will NEVER stop praying for her. Please join us in praying for her new family. Pray for our hearts.....I am having to let go of my dream of Eliana and Xiomara being sisters. If you would like to hear how you can pray more specifically or want to hear more of the story, just e-mail me privately. I cannot even begin to tell all of you how much you mean to me. Thank you for loving this little girl.
