TWO is better than one....


This girl turned TWO today!!


She is the messiest...


the sweetest...


funniest...


most fearless...


loving little girl I know!

Ellie is so sweet and compassionate. No one in this house can sneeze, cough or even scratch an itch without Ellie asking if you are alright. She tells you she loves you about 20 times a day (more when she is sick, much more!) She loves to sing, read and watch TV. She loves soda and anything gummy (just like her mommy). She can count to 10 and gets some of the ABC's in the right order. She loves owls and her brother and has to sleep with all of her stuffed animals and babies. Ellie is the messiest child I have ever met (but she LOVES the bath so I guess it all equals out in the end) and she hates to go shopping with me! I think Heavenly Father knew exactly what he was doing when he waited so long to send her here, but I am so glad she finally made it!

AND...perhaps this next bit of information deserves its own post, but I have a feeling if I don't mention it now, i will never get around to it.....ERIC FINISHED HIS MASTERS DEGREE!!! I am so incredibly proud of him. There were days I didn't know if one or both of us would make it through alive but Eric managed to work full time, be Elder Quorum President, commute to school, maintain a *nearly* perfect GPA and was still the favorite parent (how does that happen?)! Yay Eric!!!

(sorry honey, I had to.)
