Baby Blanket

Recently I finished my first full-sized crocheted baby blanket. I made it for a lady in our church who was having a baby. Even though it was my first one, it turned out pretty nicely.

The Story of My Name

My mom heard a song years ago called  Elya by a group called Silverwind . She thought that the name sounded pretty but didn't know the meaning or the spelling of it. She found out that it is a variation of the name Elijah (Eliyahu) meaning "The Lord He is God". She found another spelling Eliyah but decided to spell it Eleah.  The song Elya is below.

Also, we entered my name in the search engine and found this: http://eleahmed.org/

If you click on their mission statement they will tell you about their name. I thought that was neat. :) 

I am very glad that my mom and dad named me this name. 

My Family

I've had this blog for about five months and I just realized I have not introduced you to my family. Since there's no time like the present I may as well do it now.

First there's Dad and Mom, who are the best parents in the world

Then there is my sweet older sister, Anna-Rebekah

And my three older brothers:
Timothy, the amusing entertainer, Josiah, the tech guy, and Ethan, the cool one

And then there's me...I love to read, eat chocolate, and hold babies

Matthew is my younger brother who loves to play outdoors with his brothers 

Susannah is a regular bookworm and always has a smile on her face

Elijah is our charming  and dramatic storyteller

                          

And last but not least is Jenna Beth, our sweet, smiley cutie-pie.

And here is all of us together...just one crazy family :)
