Today is our Sweet Ella's 7th Birthday. I can not believe it has been seven years. I had to look back for a moment and just focus on her. It is hard these days to do that because we now have three other children that need us too, but I do remember when it was (for a lot of the time) just her and I. We would travel back and forth to Kanab together even to Az. She was a great partner and if she got upset I would just sing "Delta Dawn" and she would settle back down into her comfort zone. Tyler worked the grave yard shift so in the mornings while he was trying to sleep Ella and I would first watch an hour of the Wiggles and then walk outside to get the mail and chat with our neighbors. And if that didn't take up much time we would venture on over to Walmart and see what we could find. From day one she loved to shop so I had no excuse not to spend any money. Our time now is different and it is few and far between, but never the less it time well spent. Happy birthday Ella, I could not be the mom of four children without you. You get me through my days in more ways than you will ever know. Your laughter is contagious! Your "quirky" come backs are hilarious, and your heart is so kind! I pray your "hugs and snuggles" never end!!!
