Happy Birthday, Ellie!

5/5/10
What can I say about Ellie??? I can’t believe that she is already four years old!!!! Ellie is our family giggle box. I don’t think that she can do anything without a little giggling to go along with it. She loves to sing, not necessarily along with us, more in the line of improvisational lyrics. She loves God, and sings about Him all day long. She is also very expressive; whenever she talks her entire face is alive with action. Ellie is strong and independent. She thinks she can do everything by herself, and often times, she can! She loves to draw, color, and help mom in the kitchen. She is very gentle and loving, and she loves to help take care of younger kids and babies. We are so thankful that God has given us this precious little girl!





Ellie had wanted her own suitcase for a long time, but she always insisted that she had to have it for her 4th birthday, NOT before!



Take a Picture of Us

5/4/10
I love it when the kids decide they are doing something really cute, and they really want me to take a picture of them. Hannah came running into the house, laughing and saying "Mom, take a picture of us!" How sweet!



Soccer

Hannah and Ellie played soccer through the Iowa City Rec Center this year. They loved being on the same team.
