Hats!

Hi there!

Ellie wore a few different hats this week (besides the hat she always wears of being the cute little sister of three loving siblings!).

We have the backwards baseball cap look:

 We have the "sittin' on a blanket in the sun watchin' my brother play soccer" look:

 And the "I just got home from church and look so spiffy and cute" look:

And finally - Ellie got a swing for the swing set for her birthday!  This is our fourth one of these - the straps never make it more than a couple years due to weather so we just kept getting new ones!  Jacob loved his and said he felt like he was an astronaut in space!  Now here is Ellie - how lucky she is to have three people wanting to push her!  We made some adjustments and figured out how to get her safely locked in there and now as long as the kids are out back - Ellie is outback and always moving!!!  Here she is laughing the first time we put her in.

Ellie is 2 and Easter is here!

Happy Easter Holey Ellie friends!

Ellie says "I'm doin' so good  now, my second birthday is even better than my first!  No more medicines, no more oxygen!"

"Just having fun with this giraffe thingy with balls that keep spinning around!"

"And Easter mass was so special, except I wish my people would let me crawl around more!"

"I guess I'll hold still and smile real quick for this picture with the girls." :)

Then a birthday and Easter celebration!

 "What's this, a lollipop?"

 "Now that tastes alright!"

  "Time to hunt for eggs?"

A new ball popping game - fun for all four kids!!!! 

 

 

Then a lick of some cake and we call it a day!

Big Week

"Hi Y'all"!!!!

"I'm goin' be 2 this week"!!!!!!

"I'm just so excited about my party!

"Since it's so close to Easter, we're gonna have a big Easter/Ellie celebration"!

Julia and Ellie

Holy Week + Ellie Week = Holey Ellie Week!!

Prayer books

Ellie was so happy today about the addition of a new table in our little prayer corner.  She got a whole shelf of books to have her way with!  Make a mess and learn about Jesus, Ellie!
