Little Ellie

This is a little delayed, but Ellie turned 1 a few days ago! That is so crazy to type. I truly cannot believe she is already 1. Where does the time go? I guess it goes quicker with each kid.
What a year it has been!
We feel so blessed to have a happy, healthy child: we are still amazed that she is actually here, and that she is a thriving, vibrant little girl.
Lily and Ava couldn't wait for Ellie's birthday. They were so excited their little sister was turning 1. Ok, they were mostly just excited they got to eat cake. But, they were also excited to be able to say their little sister is "1" instead of always answering the question "how old is your little sister?" with "ummm....months?". It's a lot easier to say 1.
Oh, Ellie. You are awesome! We love you so much.

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise."
