Now:

Our big girl is six years old today!

Sometimes when I watch Ellie run or hear her explain something to me I find it hard to believe that I have a daughter as old and tall as Ellie, then I remember that my dad had one of his kids out of high school by my age. Huh. Anyway, enough of my age crisis..

Happy birthday Ellie! You are a joy to have in our family and love you so much!
