Happy 1st Birthday Elliott Faith Jensen

We went all out this year, celebrating life, love and this beautiful blessing named Elliott Faith.

Happy Birthday sweet Elliott, we love you.

Our Gift
Joe and I have received so much love and support from our family, friends and complete strangers that we want to give back in a big way too. Every year on Elliott's birthday we will give a donation to an organization that supports children of all ages, through medical resources, research and development, financial or spiritual support, perinatal hospice and funeral or memorial services. We want to give back and hopefully help another family in need. 

This year we have decided to donate to FIRST, Foundation for Ichthyosis & Related Skin Types. We have been following the story of a beautiful little girl named Brenna and her outstanding family. You can read more about Brenna's story at Blessed by Brenna.

Thank you to everyone who has carried us through this past year. We missed our little girl immensely today, but today was a day filled with love.
