Happy 1st Birthday, Elijah!

Happy 1st Birthday, Elijah! Mama & Daddy love and miss you so much! We wish we could be with you today. You've grown so much over this year but your sweet smile has only grown with you. Mama loves your long eyelashes and mohawk and Daddy loves your sweet voice. We thank the Lord for you everyday. We look forward to bringing you home soon and celebrating your first year of life and many birthdays to come. We love you, Little Pumpkin. XOXO

Happy 1st Birthday, Isaiah!

Our sweet Isaiah turned one-year-old today.  We are so thankful for this precious little boy.  It has been amazing to watch him grow and change this year.  His personality is coming out and he is such a fun little guy to be with as he loves to smile, laugh, play, and cuddle.  Although we couldn't all be together yet for his birthday this year, we take comfort in knowing that we will have many more birthdays to celebrate in the future and his brother got to celebrate with him today.  We miss the boys so much.  We are praying that the Lord will open the way for us to bring Isaiah and Elijah home in a few weeks.  We might have to have a belated birthday party!
