Then and Now...

"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him."
-Pablo Casals

Eli really is our little miracle and I'm amazed that he is 6 months old today-that's half a year!! We've spent the last 6 months in awe; from studying his little fingers and toes the day he was born to gleefully watching him learn to pick up a toy. However, I never expected parenthood to come with so many conflicting emotions-like the way I ache for the time that is already past, and simultaneously wait with eager anticipation for what tomorrow will bring.

A picture says a thousand words, but these pictures only capture just a bit of the joy that Eli brings us.
