Two Years

This week we celebrated Ella's second birthday.  The two years have gone by so fast!  I look at this picture of me holding her when she was only a month old, and I smile to myself because the me in the picture doesn't know what joy, life, and personality that little baby was about to bring to or family.

She makes us laugh everyday. 

Her sense of adventure keeps me on my toes. 

She has an endless supply of hugs to give out
and never tires of sharing them. 

She idolizes her big sister, 
but won't pass up the opportunity to tease her. 

She talks to almost everyone she sees,
but none of us know what she's saying. 

She shows every single one of her teeth when she smiles. 

The only thing that scares her is the sound of an airplane overhead. 

Ella is bursting with life and personality. 

We LOVE you, Ella Boo.

the right to be an individual,

you have an obligation to be one.”
