She's 1!







Eliyah Grace Tuleen is ONE! Saturday we celebrated with Grandpa Bruce and Grandma K (my parents), our dear friends Grammy and Poppy Wilcox, and Eliyah's birth-parents. She was surrounded by love! Eric is in Honduras on a medical mission so we'll have a second celebration when he gets home.

We had a really great day and I'm so glad that my parents were able to be here. Eliyah's birth-mom is with us a lot (Yeah! She's one of our favorite people!) and it was great that E's birth-dad could travel a long distance to be with us for the weekend. The birthday girl loved the attention, her cake, her Snow White doll and especially her new hair bows. Justice and Aedyn think the hair bows are pretty great, too.

Eliyah is saying mama, papa, 'us'is (Justice), a'en (Aedyn), and she does some great animal sounds. Her favorite activity is singing and dancing and she would be content for an hour if I would continuously sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "5 Little Monkeys." Eric and I are so, so grateful to be her parents. Eliyah brings true joy to our hearts.
