My baby is 5...when did that happen.

On February 3rd, 2009 after 41 weeks of pregnancy, several hours of induction it was finally decided that my first little baby would come by c-section. If I'd only know how my life would have changed back then I would have made sure to stop and take a breath before she arrived. These past five years have flown by, and with each that little girl has wrapped her daddy and I tighter around her little fingers. Ella is anything but quiet. She is energetic and outgoing. She knows no stranger and tells everyone we meet her full name and age. She sings, all the time, no really 24/7. It is horribly off key and loud, but I love listening to every minute of it (ok maybe not every minute, but I do love it, really!) Ella has taken on the role of big sister very seriously. She sometimes forgets mommy and daddy are in the room and she tries to "help" her brothers out. Sometimes they appreciate it, other times not so much. Ella loves to dance and play soccer. She is so bright and sometimes I forget she is only 5. With her birthday brings great change. My little girl will soon be headed to Kindergarten and a knew era will start in our lives. I can't wait for school plays, and being the classroom mom. I can't wait to see who she befriends and hear about all she learns. I prayed so hard to be a mom and when God answered those prayers he sent the best angel to fulfill them!
