Today my middle child and first girl turned 5! Wow!!! How did that happen? 5 years ago today I was starring at her thinking “how is it that I am now the mother of two and one of them is a girl?” I was instantly in love with her. She came out peaceful and has been that way ever since.
There is no way to describe how amazing Ella is. But I will try…
She is…
beautiful.
peaceful.
a true animal lover.
a snuggler.
gentle.
loving.
funny.
a wonderful big sister.
a wonderful little sister.
a good friend.
my first girl.
a joy to be around.
and many many more things…
Happy Birthday to my big girl.

We are at the beach this week so Ella got to celebrate her birthday in Florida. We went to her favorite dinner spot and then walked the beach at Seaside for some pictures. And afterwards we had ice cream. This is a shot I took tonight at the beach. Edited on a very uncalibrated monitor so excuse the quality of it.
I will share more of my trip when I get home.
Also look forward to MANY newborns in the coming weeks. I have had 4 born and a few more due this week so the blog will be saturated with newborns soon. Won’t that be awesome! Can’t wait to share them all with you.
