First of all, a happy update. My last post was about baby Eliot. I just want you to know that two weeks ago Eliot became a big brother. His parents now have a baby girl named "Hazel". If you haven't visited the blog written by his father, I strongly recommend that you do. He is an excellent writer and has a wonderful gift of expressing his faith with eloquence and grace. Here's a little "taste" from his blog:

I had hoped that Eliot would still be here. That God would do a miracle. That he would be the kid that filled the pages of medical journals. I hoped that we would be a family for longer. I hoped that he was present at my funeral- just as it should be with a father and son. I make no apologies for those hopes. Naïve as they are, I know a God who could have fulfilled these hopes with a single touch. But, today, we linger in a world that was absent that touch. So what is the subject of my hope now?I hope that God is who He says He is. I hope beyond hope that His word is true. Actually, this was my hope all along. God has not failed. I believe that one day I will be released from this body, and be at His feet. The questions will be answered and I will wonder no longer. Ginny & I believe that while we’re still here on earth, that something is waiting to be done.My hopes cannot thwart God’s plans. And I am learning that this is a good thing. May His will be done. For therein lies my hope.
