It's been a number of months since I've posted...life kind of got away from me and I have gotten away from this blog for you. A lot has changed in your life since the last time I wrote. For one - and it's a BIG one - you have a little brother!
He's a little cutie isn't he? Just like you are. And it's been so wonderful to see how much you love your baby brother Wyatt; I'm so glad to see that you love him and you're affectionate and sweet with him. But then, Ellie, you're one of the sweetest little girls I've ever seen!
We just celebrated your third birthday, and you have been doing gymnastics as well - just started! Your mom took a short video and you are so fearless, child! I admire your tenacity and your bravery to try new things. Good for you sweetie - I hope that's something you keep doing in your life because you'll learn an awful lot just because you're willing to try or learn something new. I'm very proud of you!
For Halloween this year you were Cindy Lou Who and your brother was the Grinch. I was really hoping to be able to join you but I wasn't feeling well and missed out on the fun. However, your mom took some great pictures and I want you to be able to see them. Both of you are adorable - although it cracks me up that your mom drew green eyebrows on your brother to make him look mean for playing the Grinch! Ha!!! So creative - she made your outfits and did a fantastic job.
I absolutely love the picture of Wyatt smiling with his drawn-on eyebrows, but they work perfectly with his Grinch costume. Very clever Stacy - always so creative, fun and sweet. I hope next year that we'll be able to celebrate Halloween with you and that the weather is better. This year it was very cold and very wet - not the best weather for trick or treating, but at least you enjoyed it. I'm already curious what your mom will think of for next year, or if you decide for yourself what you want to be, sweetie!!
It's November and the leaves are off the trees and the weather has been turning colder and wetter in general. Soon Thanksgiving will be here, and then Christmas. It is really true that the older you get the faster time flies - but we've had so much fun this year with you and your little brother.
We enjoyed S'mores over the summer and you have been really enjoying hugs from your Uncle Roger. I love to watch you cuddle up to him and fall asleep or just rest until you're ready to get up and play some more. And it's cute to watch you eat messy food and how much you enjoy it.
And today your mom posted these pictures of you on a pretty fall day, and I think they are beautiful. You are always smiling Ellie, and even if you fall or get hurt it's not very long before you are smiling again. We love you very much honey!!! I'll leave this entry with you smiling, as always, and a lovely picture of you and your mom. You both look happy, and deserve it!
Love you to the moon and back, Ellie!
Ah, happiness...!
