My Ellie Kate is 5!

Oh, how time flies. I can't believe it's been 5 years already since our first baby girl came into this world!! If you don't know Ellie, she is sweet, sensitive, obedient, loving, smart,......the list could go on and on. She loves her little sister, although if she has the choice, she will choose to play with someone older than her. She has always been a little mature for her age and is drawn to older kids. She loves people and always wants to help. Our Ellie is such a blessing to us and to the people around her! We call her Ellie Kater (alligator) or Eleanor Katherine...no, her real name is not Eleanor, but people still ask me if it is!! Her favorite things are music (anything from Barney to Hannah Montana), playing doctor, using a cash register, coloring, playing school, and riding her bike. She's very good in her swimming lessons and loves going to Mother's Morning Out. Like me, she would rather be with her Nonee than just about anyone else, but loves all of our family very much and prays for them often. She had a very special bond with my Grand-daddy, who is not with us any more, but she still says, "I miss Grand-daddy Red!" She still asks us, "Is tonight a special night?", which means she can sleep in the bed with us. She doesn't like to be alone, and I'm okay with that. Happy Birthday, sweet Ellie Kate! Mommy and Daddy love you very much!!!

We moved back from Texas when Ellie was 18 months old.
She was turning 2 here with my Mom and Dad. (2006)
















Our earlier pictures are on another computer...we have copies, but I can't post them on here right now. This was when Ellie was 1. My Mom and Nannie flew to Texas (yes, Nannie got on an airplane!!) to visit us. We loved being in Texas, but it was so hard being away from family. Thankfully, we visited each other as often as we could and we were only away for 3 years. I will have to find some baby pics to post. She was a pretty cute little baby, but has turned into a beautiful little girl!
