Happy Ninth Birthday, Ellie!

Posted in Birthdays


Ellie with her new puppy, Skipper!

Guess who's turning nine today?? Yes, it's our prissy princess!! Ellie celebrates her ninth birthday today, and we are so thankful that the Lord blessed us with our 'all-girl' little girl on March 2, 2000!


I actually had to go into the hospital on February 29th (yes, leap year) for pre-mature labor (usual for me), but I'm so glad that the contractions eased off and I was able to go home for another day or two. I really wanted her to have a real birth date every year, instead of every four! LOL


Ellie enjoys art, climbing trees, playing with her puppy, Barbies, and her favorite move is The Little Mermaid. So see, she is almost all girly girl. But when you live out in the country, climbing trees is mandatory! And too, with three brothers, she has to be just a teensy little bit of a tomboy thrown in for good measure to hang with all of them. And she does enjoy fishing too, she says.


Happy Birthday, Ellie! We love you so much and we're blessed to have you as our little girl! God is good!
