Amy,
What great pics! I love the "bedhead" one--it looks very familiar to me! (I cut Joe's hair a little short where he has a cowlick in the back and it sticks up a lot of the time now, too!)

Thanks for sharing the light of your life with us!
Carolyn

Wow,Amy,

I can't believe how much he's grown! I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Luke's mommy. He came home about 3 months after Elijah. I used to be on here all the time, but over the last year or so, I've been very busy with 'life' and not had a lot of time to surf.

I hope your husband's recent tests turned out well. I still remember all the struggles you were going through back then, and still pray for your family.

Elijah is a doll and I love those eyes! What a handsome little guy!

Take care,
Judy
