[playtime with dad]

we are SO blessed by this baby. i just had no idea that we would enjoy life with a child so much. ryan said the other day that he wishes we wouldn't have waited so long. that's crazy! who would have thunk it. eli is quite smiley these days...as the pictures show. he smiles with his whole face...it's gorgeous. i can't stop smiling as i write this, just looking at these pictures. he brings us both a LOT of joy.
