Get to Know the Family
I'm Ellyn, though plenty of people call me El. I love God, my kids, and my family, and I spend a lot of time reading and shopping. I'm creative more than crafty, and wittier than I am sarcastic. I'm a dedicated texter, a serious procrastinator, and rarely on time. I do my best to meet life's surprises with laughter and grace. I have six wonderful kids.
- Ava — dramatic, theatrical, and operatic; she dreams of becoming an archaeologist and currently lives her life like a musical.
- Jace — green everything, always, and very brave; he's our household's official bug-killer and hopes to be a knight someday.
- Eli — deeply loved and deeply missed; stillborn into our waiting arms and born alive into the arms of our Savior.
- Seth — our answered prayer and a miracle in his own right; he arrived early with a long list of challenges but has pushed through every one of them with God's grace. Diagnosed as profoundly deaf when he was an infant, he got bilateral cochlear implants at eight months old. Knowing his character, we say he is PROFOUNDLY SETH.
- Evany — the fifth piece of our family puzzle; she keeps us entertained every day and is an immeasurable blessing to our home.
- Coen Rhys McCall — already learning fast how to hold his own among his siblings, and he's pretty great.
