Meet the Family
I'm Ellyn. I love God, my kids, and my family. I'm also a big reader — and a shopper. I'm creative rather than crafty, and sarcastic if you'll let me call it witty. Texting is a favorite of mine. I procrastinate plenty and I'm rarely on time. Through all of life's unexpected twists and turns, I'm doing my best to navigate it with laughter and grace.
I have six wonderful kids. Ava is dramatic, theatrical, and operatic — she wants to be an archaeologist and is currently living her life as a musical. Jace is green through and through, very brave, our household's official bug-killer, and hopes to be a knight someday. Eli is deeply loved and deeply missed; he was stillborn into our waiting arms and born ALIVE into the arms of our Savior. Seth is our answered prayer and a miracle in his own right; he arrived early with a long list of issues, yet he has pushed through every obstacle with God's grace. Diagnosed as profoundly deaf as an infant, he received bilateral cochlear implants at 8 months old. Seeing our son's character, we say he is PROFOUNDLY SETH. Evany is the fifth piece of our family puzzle; she delights us daily and is an immeasurable blessing to our home. Coen Rhys McCall is quickly learning to hold his own among his siblings! He's pretty great.
