Happy 5th Birthday, Ellie!

My sweet girl is FIVE! I can't believe it.... I asked her how it felt - she said a lot different! LOL!

I wanted to post a few shots that really are HER. These are my favorite recent ones....

She loves "Butterfly Music" (aka Beethoven's 5th) and will sit and "whistle" it and conduct....




She just has that look that makes you realize that somehow she knows much more than you can even imagine....


And her pure joy of life shines through in so many ways....


Happy Birthday, my special girl! I love you dearly....
