Our Elly Bean Turns 3!



We can't believe she's 3 . . . and she can't either.  She's been holding up 3 fingers but saying,"I'm 2!"  Mom think she's grown a foot this year.  She and Gracie are only a size apart.  She is still the biggest laugh in our family.  We were sitting in Church this Sunday when Dave looked over at me with big eyes.  Yes, under her beautiful layers of organza and rose petals our little princess was commando, under-less, free as a jay bird.  Dave ran her home before Nursery so that she wouldn't be the half-time show between singing and snacks.  Elly, we're so glad you are ours.  Happy 3rd birthday!

I loved reading your blog and i laughed so many times when i could HEAR you laughing and telling a story with your cute. funny sayings (all the way to breakfast)!!! And I could hear Dave, too, telling you to "sit down before you...!" on your trip to Zions! Your children are so beautiful--congrats on all FOUR! So you guys moved back to the States last year from where, Vietnam? How long were you guys in Russia? Do the kids speak Russian? Were you guys buddies with Gulia while you were there--hee hee?
