Sweet Little Ellie,
One week ago today you were born. You are a whole week old and what a wonderful week it has been!
Oh how you make us smile! You are so alert and you smile all the time. In fact, the other day I was holding you while you were sleeping and you started to giggle... it was so sweet.
You have such a big spirit. You are tiny, but your spirit is very big. When I look into your eyes I know you could tell me wonderful things about heaven. I wish you could tell me those things. But even without words I can feel Heavenly Father's love when I look at you. You are His very special daughter and He loves you so very much.
Your brother is so cute with you. He absolutely adores you. He wants to be close to you all of the time. He is worried if you cry and if you are sleeping he likes to tickle your toes to wake you up. I know he looks forward to the day the two of you can play together. I have a feeling that day will come sooner than we think.
Tonight for the first time we took you out. We went out to eat and I loved saying that we needed a table for 4. We are a family of FOUR and dad and I love it... we feel so, so blessed!
This has been the best week of our life.
We love you so much!
Love,
Mom
