Jill...I can't believe I will be writing things like this about Eli in a couple of years. Can't believe he is so grown up!!
This made me cry and smile at the same time. Stop time!!!
I have loved that kid since the day I laid eyes on him - he's special and no wonder. . .look at his sweet Momma.
xoxo!!
