"Dear Eliot" is a moving story of two parents unconditional love and selflessness for their child who had trisomy 18- a terminal condition. They were told their son would probably die in utero, but he beat the odds. This story gives us hope that God is always moving... even in times of pain, uncertainty, and hardship. May God richly bless Eliot's sweet parents, and may we never take one day for granted!
We FINALLY did it!!! Gone are the mullet wearing days for Addison! We took her to Kidsnips last Saturday and figured it would be fun (although unnecessary since we could have done the few snips at home) to take her in for her first official haircut. Well- it turned out to be rather tragic for poor Addison. We walked in and she was terrified from the start. She wouldn't sit in one of the cars, wouldn't wear a little cape, could care less that Elmo was on, and wouldn't sit still for one split second. I had to hold her and she cried on my shoulder the whole time- bless her heart! It made for an interesting photo op I guess. The good news is that instead of being charged $20 we were only charged $5- because she "has no hair!" 
I was on the Bring the Rain blog and came across this amazing way to pray for your child(ren). There are seven verses to pray over your child through out the day all prompted by daily activities- waking up, getting dressed, eating, going out of the house, bathing, going to bed, and sleeping. How cool would it be to pray for your child seven times a day for a week??? Click on the 7x7 picture on the right and it will bring you to the verses. I encourage you to take this challenge on!!!
It's obviously not my place to tell you who to vote for (although I wish I could), but please get out and vote. This election is really important and many crucial issues are at stake. Every vote counts! And a little perk... no pun intended- you get FREE Starbucks coffee if you vote! See the video below:
