We had a really fun time with some of our family in town last weekend for Ellsie's blessing. Shelby found a pretty dress for Ellsie and if it was a little bit bigger she might be able to wear it for her wedding. We wish more family could have been here for the blessing. Maybe with the next four we will live closer. Just kidding honey, I know how you love Surprise. (Posted by Lance)
Ellsie certaintly is a sweet baby. She does have a slight problem with thinking that she needs to be held all the time. However, I think she should outgrow that by the time she is 3 or 4.
I think our boys are looking forward to summer time. If it isn't above 80 degrees, they are freezing.
I know, I've been really slow with getting pictures of Ellsie up on here. Sorry to all our family and friends far away! We have fallen in love with our little girl. She has three very protective brothers and a mom and dad that can't get enough of her!

It didn't take long before Shelby was primping Ellsie for pictures. I think we will all have a lot of fun with a little girl in the house. We are so blessed to have her safely here and are grateful for the support of friends and family who are helping us.
Ellsie came a few weeks early. She was born 1/23/09 and came in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. We can't get over all of that hair. The boys didn't have hair like that.
Shelby did a great job with decorating the nursery. 
Shelby prepared the nursery and made certain everything was in order for Ellsie's arrival.
