That's our ... uh, girl??

Ellie is going to be such a tomboy -- I can feel it in my bones. But, she will certainly do it in the most girly way possible.

Today after church, she wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather so she took off her boots and set to playing in the yard -- rolling, tumbling, chasing the cat, playing with the dog and picking mama some flowers. This was the first time she had ever picked a flower for me. I remember how sweet Joshua was at this age, picking flowers for mama all the time too.



She also likes to "take time to smell the roses".




Bear is always "standing guard" when Ellie is outside playing. He's such a good protector.


The kitties, surprisingly, like Ellie fairly well.


Ellie was just so happy to get outside and burn some energy.

My girl ROCKS!!
