Ellie's Birthday

So, my little girl is turning 3 tomorrow. I can't believe it. Seems like just yesterday I was screaming in the hospital room with the worst back labor anybody can imagine. She and I have been through so much together...Months of Kevin being on the road, us moving, having another baby. Ellie is an amazing big sister...she is always saying to me, "Mommy, I a big sister now." (That's the title of one of her favorite books.) I am so in love with my little girls.

We are doing a special dinner tomorrow night of her choosing, then opening gifts. And of course my wonderful chef of a husband is making a cake :D Sometimes I just watch her sleeping, or playing, or singing to her favorite movie and it brings tears to my eyes. Already she has so much independence...but she will always be my first little baby.

Screaming like you were dying if I recall...you could be heard on the other side of the maternity ward. It was scary. Happy Birthday to Miss Elizabeth Ann :).

I remember that day too - but I was in the city, eating pizza with Wayne and some friends. The next day we went to Toys 'R Us to find the perfect gift to bring back :)
