We fight, but we always make up.

Hugging always turns to wrestling around here.

Getting Ellisa's room ready

We feel very blessed that Chris' talented friend Terry painted a mural for Elli's wall.

The master at work.

The finished product took my breath away, all it needs now is our precious little Elli!

Ellisa's quilt was the inspiration for her mural.

The beginning outlines, I can tell already it is going to be beautiful!

Her bed is all ready for her!

Ellisa Faith is 3 1/2 months old!

I can't believe how much she has grown and how beautiful she is!!

I love all her hair and the cute little ponytail.

She's not quite sure of the doll we sent her, but she sure looks cute in purple.

My best friend Melissa and our little blessings

I love Frosty the Snow Man

We loved playing the Wii

Justin and Jake racing cows!

The Carter/VanEerden clan early, early in the morning

Makalynn is right at home in the kitchen.

Ellisa's second care package

Ellisa Faith turned 3 months old on Christmas day and we are getting the opportunity to send her another care package. We should get new pictures and video of her by the end of the month. She will be almost 3 1/2 months old in the pictures and we haven't seen any since she was less than a month old. We are so anxious to see how she has grown and changed. Please continue to pray with us that the Lord will bring her home soon. We are desperate to hold her!!
