Our little friend

This weekend was more than your average fourth of July for us. We had the opportunity to spend time with my little friend Connor. I have known his family for almost two years. He and his family are very special to me. Connor has Mitochondrial Disease.

Josh and I had a great time hanging out with them. His family is very uplifting and full of life. I have often said that Connor is one of my heroes. Let me explain, Connor is the most loving and happy child I have ever meet. He always greets you with a smile that makes eveything in life go away!! He has faced some huge mountains in his tiny life but you would never know it. I look at him and see God's love, peace, and joy. It is easy for him to have that because he knows his natural parents are taking care of him. As Christians we should have more joy and peace knowing that God is going to take care of us. No matter how big our mountains are.

Tammy, his mom is working on a big fundraiser in September for the Mitochondrial Foundation. This was Connor's first time at the beach. Words cannot describe the joy of watching him crawl on the sand and the water hit his feet. We also had the honor of taking their first family portraits. He loves the camera!!
He knows he holds a key to my heart!!
