ellie is 6

I can’t believe my baby girl is six today! Time flies by so very quickly.

I remember when she was first born feeling this rush of emotions and I couldn’t imagine loving her more than I did that moment. But, my love continues to grow.

Elena Joy is such a blessing. She has a contagious smile and laugh. She is so thoughtful and caring of others. Her cards and notes are my favorite. She loves giving gifts. She is very smart. Her singing voice is so pure and precious. She has an adventurous spirit. She has a wild imagination. Her dance moves are awesome. Not to mention, she is pretty darn cute.

I couldn’t be more proud of the lovely lady she is becoming. It is truly an honor to be her mommy.

Happy Birthday baby girl! What a great 6 years it has been.

Here’s a few shots from yesterday. She wanted to have a picnic for her birthday with a few friends and family. Unfortunately, this mommy got the stomach flu early yesterday morning and couldn’t attend. While I was pretty bummed I could go to her party, I was also very blessed by friends and family who stepped up to make sure the day went as planned. And she had a blast!
