Elena's Echoes is in memory of our daughter Elena Marie as well as our youngest baby Quinn August. Elena was born prematurely, and we were blessed with 2 hours and 17 minutes with her on this earth. Quinn was miscarried. We look forward to eternity with them in heaven. Their brief lives blessed us immensely, and it is our desire that their lives continue to make a positive impact on the world.

The First Year the Dates Align
In January 2011 we learned that we were expecting our second baby. Five years ago this month. I cannot believe it has been five years. This year is the first year since Elena's birth that the dates and the days will match up. She was born on a Monday; her birthday will be on a Monday for the first time. All of the milestone dates will match up again for the first time. I had thought after her first birthday that we had gone through all the "firsts." Now I realize we haven't yet exactly. I am already feeling anxious with the anticipation of the difficulty of reaching the milestones on the same days. And it's her fifth birthday, a significant milestone birthday anyway, coupled with it falling on the same day as her birth.... 2016 may be a tough year.
