Today is the day that we get to celebrate Ellie. This time three years ago, she was just 1 hour old and so tiny (I was about to enjoy a spaghetti "breakfast" since I hadn't eaten anything during my 30 hour labor!). I didn't know it at the time, but I was just about to begin what has been the most challenging, fun, crazy, exhausting and soul filling adventure of my life!
Fast forward three years and she is literally, the BEST THING I have EVER DONE in my life. I think this at least once a day. She has such an amazing little sense or humor; she is compassionate, enthusiastic and FUN. We all have a great time together. It is crazy how someone 29 years younger than me can make me so happy!
A lot of people want children and can't have them, or have children who are sick. Hearing their stories breaks my heart. We are all guilty of taking the wonderful things in our lives for granted from time to time. Today, I will remember that we are blessed to have this wonderful little being in our lives, and send a babydust to all who are trying for little ones, and healing dust to all who are sick. Let's all take a minute to do that- maybe our combined energies will make something magical and miraculous happen.
Happy birthday Ellie, Mom and Daddy love you every second of every day...
Thanks for reading...

Happy, happy 3rd birthday, Ellie. Our are a wonderful first grand-daughter and we think about you and talk about you all the time. We find ourselves talking about your outgoing personality, the joy you bring into a room and those gorgeous blue eyes. You really light up our lives.
We love you.

What a beautiful post...for a beautiful little girl! She is all the things you mentioned and she has the best belly laugh.
I agree, being a parent can be a challenge, but at the end of the day it is so worth it. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I'm with you on sprinkling lots of babydust and good energy to those who have been trying :):) and those who are sick as well as the people taking care of them.
Such a nice post!
Love you Miss Ellie!! You bring lots of joy to me, Uncle Jon, Jack and Will!
Love you lots!
