Ellie is 2...

Well, before my oldest turns 9 tomorrow, I need to hurry and give Ellie her 2-year-old blog, before I end up combining hers and James, and then never get that done, so end up combining all the kids birthdays from the past year, and it goes on and on! So, let's get cracking. I've gotta start somewhere, and soon!





It's hard to imagine that it's been 2 years since our little Miss Ellie was born. Here is what Ellie has been to our family over these past 2 years...



1. She has definitely been the princess in our house, who rules and reigns.




2. She has been the caboose that brings up the rear of the train, and make sure the train runs properly! Believe me, we know when it doesn't!



3. She has been the string around our finger.... she always makes sure we remember her!



4. She has been the one to bring dresses, dolls, and the color pink into the walls of this home... finally :-)




5. She has been able to us wrapped around her pinky... we will go where you want us to go, oh child!




6. She has been our peacemaker, and has the ability to melt away bad moods.


7. She has been our light on top of the hill, drawing everyone towards her, and loving and accepting all, unconditionally.



8. She has been our cheerleader. Always there to cheer us on to be the best mother, father, sibling, and friend we can possibly be!


9. She has been our reminder, to stop and smell the flowers. Life is too short to let it pass by.

10. And last but not least, she has been our little Miss Ellie. She brings life and excitement to our family. We love her with all our heart!

Well, there you have it. Our little one is growing up so fast, as are all our other children, as are Todd and I, unfortunately :-) Sorry, it's been forever since I've blogged, for those of you who have been poking at me to get this done! As I have written this today, I realize that I need to do this more for my own piece of mind. I love writing about my kids, and blogging helps me remember the day to day small things, which I've lost over these past many months. So, thanks for the poking and prodding, and I hope to get back into the swing of things!
Take care everyone!
Love,
Us
