just a thought...

I'm thankful for my son Eli, our fifth and final child. I love that he is a story teller, that he knows how to use his imagination and he creates fanciful things for the world to enjoy. I appreciate that he is a thinker and tries to find 3 or 4 solutions to the problem at hand. Eli is also a talker and can fill an eight hour car ride with as many, "Hey Dad, can I tell you something" (s) as there are miles to the destination. I'm thankful that he is still a kid...a big kid, but still a kid who still grabs my hand once in awhile, who still likes to skip through the parking lot of stores, and who still has innocence and purity. I'm thankful that with Eli I have had the joy of knowing what fatherhood really means.
