During our road trip to Mozambique, we were driving late and watching the sunset. He said “Jesus is the Sun!” We said yes, Eli, Jesus is like the sun, thinking he was very smart to be thinking about Jesus. Then as the sun started to slip down behind the trees, he said “Jesus is going down!”
Happy Birthday Honey Muffin!!
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you – Dede and I miss and love you so much and we are counting the days until we step off the plane in Lusaka. But, in the meantime, Happy Birthday, Eli. We love seeing the pictures and seeing exactly what you are doing and everything about you. You are a wonderful, handsome, adorable, perfect 6 year old.
