Happy Birthday, L.E. ! You are a beauty!

We went to the fair yesterday for Ellie's 9th birthday. She and Jacob did this bunjee jump. Ellie is at the top right of the pic, she was really jumping and flipping. Jacob is facing camera in the center of the pic. Ellie is always wanting to do what Jacob is doing! :)

She got her ears pierced on ID on vacation and by the time her birthday arrived, it was time to change her earings! Fun, fun!
I think she is about 4 or 5 yrs old here. What a cutie, huh?!! She has such a great and infectious smile. She lights up a room!
Ellie loves to dress up. She loves a pretty dress, skirt, pair of shoes, etc.! (I have to admit, I am a tad jealous of her outfits sometimes! Like this one! :)

She had to be only about 2 or 3 years old here. She was born with a head full of hair, so she had a head start!! This was a fun sitting, she loved the wings! :)
Ellie was born with a song in her heart. She always has a tune running through her mind. She used to lose track of time in the bathroom, just singing away and unconcerned about the task at hand!
She definitely lives in the moment. She rarely remembers where we are going or if we have been there before, or if she has met someone already. She is almost always delighfully surprised by what is happening.
She can be very daydreamy, but it is very sweet (once I prayed to really love my children with an understanding of who God made them to be. Not to be so focused on what things we need to fix or work on about them! Thank you, Lord).
So I mentioned she loves music, she loves beauty, and she loves Love! I love to sneak peeks at her face when the lovey parts come on the movie, she is enraptured! She is a girly-girl if ever I saw one! On the other hand, she loves to keep up with Jacob!
And she got her Daddy's ability to make people laugh! You know those really beautiful women that aren't afraid to not look perfect for the joke or the laugh? That is Ellie! I love it, she can be the biggest goofball! So funny!
We are so thankful for Elisha Chloe-Nichole, and look forward to seeing what God has in store for her! :)
