My Midweek Randoms

• I would like to keep this family in your prayers this week. They are scheduled to have twins on Friday. Its a dear blog that I have read for the past few years. They lost their son, Cohen, to a heart defect after a week of life. They were soon expecting twins which seem to be doing great. Please pray for them in the coming days. Their Blog
• I haven't mentioned yet that we broke ground for the new I Can! Arts & Resource Center a few weeks ago, next door to Walker's 2nd birthday party at the mexican restaurant (which was a bit sentimental). Julie had a great idea to take Eli's balloons for his *present* we send up to him on their birthday next door while they were clearing the land and have the children release them there. And so we did- in the same area Eli's memorial garden will be. Hopefully next year at this time on the twins 3rd birthday, we'll be releasing his *heaven* balloons to him IN his memorial garden. :)

 My big sister was telling me last week that on the way home from their birthday party, my niece, Hayleigh, kept saying she was worried that Eli didn't receive all of his balloons. He did, baby girl. I know he did.

• ( I will be talking more about this progress in the coming months now that the ground breaking has been complete. Let the building begin!)
• Have I mentioned we have handed out close to 1100 Project E.L.I. dvds so far? They are still being requested, handed out to families, handed out to health care facilities. Its been an amazing journey started by some amazing people. Its an honor to be a part of this. A bigger honor to have him as a son.
