Ella's Baptism

Ella was so happy and just beaming the entire day. She is such a smart and beautiful girl, growing in so many ways everyday. Jeremy and I can't believe we are old enough to have an eight year old already. Ella is such a blessing to us. We are so grateful for the many people in her life who show her love and encourage her to develop her talents. Thankyou Grandma Muriel for being so incredible and doing such a wonderful job with the music. Ella holds a special place for each of her grandparents and loves them.

So beautiful all in white. At first Ella didn't want people to see her in the jumpsuit and wouldn't come out, but as soon as a couple of her Aunts saw her, they told her how beautiful she looked in white, and Ella just couldn't stop smiling, she was so happy to be getting baptized. She ran down the hall when it was time, she just couldn't wait.

We felt so much love and support and really felt the spirit in the talks from grandpa and Aunt Kallee. Thankyou so much for helping and to all those who came on Ella's special day, it meant a lot to her and to us.

I can't believe Ella is 8! What are you doing hiding behind her in that one picture? I want to see that belly. I hope you're hanging in there.

Oh my heck Jill, Ella is really that old. That makes you guys really old. She is looking so big. She is looking like those pre-teen years are you ready for that. She is still so rail skinny. Her birthday party looked so fun. Hey when is your due date again? I know it is getting close. Are you ready. Of course you are. Well what a neat time for you guys. Wish we could have been around to see it. Dave wants to know where our invite was.
