OUR Little Guy is FIVE...

Where in the world has the time gone?  

He is our quiet guy.  

The one who doesn't say much, 

but is always thinking and when he speaks - no doubt, we all listen.

He is very wise!  

He is extremely funny and loves to tease us all. 

He was named after the great prophet who was known as the prophet who "prayed earnestly".   If a med-flight is overhead he will quickly say, "Mom, mom!  Look!  It's a med-flight, we better pray!"  He is becoming a prayer warrior.

His middle name is after the great advocate of the orphan -

whose orphanages cared for 

10,024 orphans of Bristol, England

in the 1800's.   

He already loves the orphan.  

He remembers what it was like to be one. 

He told me that he remembers being at the orphanage and being so hungry that he would eat dirt.  He remembers big kids taking his portion of food too.  I told him how sad my heart is that I didn't have him from the day he was born.  

Our littlest boy-treasure.

Five years old now.

He was asked what he wanted for breakfast and had two requests:

Pizza 

and 

Ice Cream

Normally we do breakfast food, but he doesn't ever ask for much.  We couldn't resist {and yes, we have started a new phenomenon in our house - ooopsie.}

I intended to post his birthday yesterday....

so although his birthday is over, 

if you de-lurkers and friends would be so kind to wish our little man a very happy birthday, he will smile his shy little smile and grin with each birthday wish read. 

Happy Birthday 

Elijah Mueller

We are so thankful that God 

brought you home to our arms....

Cause we needed you so badly!

 We love you forever and ever and ever...
