Sweet Eli

As I was playing with Eli today, I had the thought that I wished everyone could know and see this sweet little boy.  Then, I realized that there have not been many posts about him.  He's just that sweet little guy that kind of stays below the radar.

Elijah is a true sweetie! When he first came to us, he was quite the crier. He cried a lot. Day. Night. Softly. Loudly. He rarely smiled. It took awhile for this little guy to warm up to his new home.  Yet, the whole time, there was something about him. That something that just makes you look into his beautiful face and have a sweet sense of peace.  That's Eli.


Eli was abandoned, though we do not know at what age. We do know that a lady had found him and was pretending he was her own. Exploiting him. Using him to beg for money. She was homeless and people around her knew she had not given birth to him. They turned her in and Eli was taken by Children Services. 



Eli has started crawling and is now moving all over the place. He has a smile that is priceless.  He loves his Auntie Linet and will instantly light up when she talks to him.  

We are happy to have him in our home now. I believe he is happy to be here, too.
