Elli Faith, we are so thankful for the joy and life and laughter you bring into our lives! Some days are long and challenging, but God is gracious to us and He sustains us.  We pray that you come to know Him and His grace.  We pray that you will one day realize that Christ is Enough.  He is the only One who can fully satisfy.  We love you precious girl!
