Friday 9/4/15 was one of the scariest days of our lives. Many of you prayed for us, encouraged us through it, and asked for the details of what happened… Background In January, Eli’s orthodontist recommended that we schedule a consultation with an oral surgeon to get his wisdom teeth removed. He suggested we get it [...]

I love being a stay-at-home Mom. I’ve always felt that it is what I was created to do. After fourteen years of this most amazing adventure, I wouldn’t change a thing. However, I must admit that, after all this time, I thought I would be working myself out of a job. Instead, it has become [...]
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Richmond International Raceway and Toyota Motorsports, Eli had an incredible NASCAR experience at Richmond this weekend!

Saturday’s surgery went exactly as we had hoped. Dr. Joe said that Eli was so good at being still that it was very easy to place the stent in each of Eli’s feet. He was given pain meds before the surgery and a local anesthetic at the incision areas just below his ankles. I [...]
Since Eli is having surgery next weekend and his birthday is on September 10th, we had his party a little early this year. Birthday parties are always a highlight of his year and he has been planning this one for some time. In his mind, April is not too soon to start planning a September [...]
It is becoming more and more difficult for Eli to stand for long periods of time. He doesn’t complain, but I can tell when he starts to get uncomfortable on his feet. We were happy to be attending our home church on Sunday. It’s always nice to be home! PCC’s Sunday service kicks off with [...]
We were invited by good friends, Pastor Dennis and Brenda Green, to speak at Ironbridge on Father’s Day. It was special: “We have learned that our purpose is not to pursue the healing. Our purpose is to pursue the Healer and to help others to know Him.” Eli asks, “So, what is God calling [...]
