Our little evangelist

We have a funny story that we wanted to share with you all. A few days ago, Scott and I came home for lunch. Our new nanny starting telling us about the morning she had with the kids. She said that Elijah was telling her that Jesus lived in his heart, and he wanted to know if Jesus lived in her heart! He was explaining to her that the Jesus that lived in HIS heart was little, because he was little, and that the Jesus that lived in Scott's heart was big, because Scott it big. Our nanny is a Christian, so she told Elijah that Jesus lived in her heart, and he went on to tell her that her Jesus is big, because she's big. Then he asked her if she new the song Jesus Loves Me. She told him that she didn't know it, so he told her to listen to him sing it, so that she could learn it. She thought that it was so funny -we did too. We also think that it's pretty special that even a 3 year old can be bold enough to share his childlike faith - if only we were all that way!

Taking an idea from some friends (thanks Tricia and Jeremy!), we are going to start posting a "Funny saying from Elijah" every week (or at least whenever we have one). So, in honor of this new installment, we have the first one that he says often, and it makes us laugh everytime:

Funny Saying from Elijah:
"Excuse me...I just burped in my pants" - Elijah after "passing gas" :)

Love to you all. No picture this week, because I can't get it uploaded We are having professional ones taken when we are in KC next week - we'll be sure to post it! WooHoo! We'll be in KC and Indy next week! Can't wait to see family!

Scott, Emily, Elijah and Sydney

Good stuff! Elijah, you keep telling people about Jesus (use an Evangecube, if necessary).
