Our precious Ellen is NINE! Her last year of a single-digit age! In the past year, she has learned to bake cookies alone, to make pancakes and to fry eggs; she has read more books than some read in a lifetime; and she has continued to pursue her passions of swimming, crafting, developing friendships and enthusiastically loving to learn. She's a caring, compassionate big sister and a delightful daughter! How much we all love her!
