Guess who's celebrating a birthday.....

Sixteen years ago, my second son was born, and my first son was greatly relieved to finally have a brother!  That little brother isn't so little anymore....

Elliot is 16

Happy Birthday Elliot!  The Lord has certainly got His hand on you, growing you and teaching you faithfully.  We are so very thankful for His work in your life, for His amazing creation of Elliot Stefan Hellwig :  Elliot - (English version of Elijah: Yahweh is God); Stefan - (Greek: crowned)

We love you, Elliot! 
This next year:

          The LORD bless you, and keep you;
    The LORD make His face shine on you,
            And be gracious to you;
     The LORD lift up His countenance on you,
            And give you peace.’        
                                                            Numbers 6:24-26
