The Champion of Family...

Eli is the champion of this family.  He loves our family so much it is actually shocking to me.  He is continually thanking Heavenly Father for his family during his prayers and saying how much he loves each of us.  He is the one willing to give in on something that he wants in order to keep the peace.  He wants everyone happy and gets the most upset when there is conflict.  Eli lets us know how much he loves us in many ways, but I especially love all of the cute notes and pictures he puts up in random places.  Although I would love to keep them all in a special box to look at all of my life, instead I am going to take a picture of some so that I can always remember just how thoughtful Eli was during this stage of his life.

A note we found taped to the garage door after Scott and I had been out on a date.

Another note we came home to taped on the garage door letting us know there was a surprise for us in our bedroom.  Eli had made our bed and put all of the throw pillows on.  When I was in our room admiring his work, he asked, "Did I do the pillows right?"  He was beaming when I told him he had.

A note we found taped above our light switch in our bedroom.

A letter Eli had written at school.
