4 Years Old!


Ellasen is 4 years old! I still can't believe it! She is definitely not a baby anymore, and I think now we have officially moved out of the toddler age as well. She is growing up so fast...I know they said she would, but I truly didn't expect light year speed. Ellasen is wise beyond her years. She is kind and gentle and seriously has the best heart of anyone I know! She is so funny, she makes us laugh every day! We are so proud to be her parents, and we sometimes wonder what we did to get so lucky. She loves preschool and excels according to her teacher. She is especially good at her numbers and letters and at sharing with other students. At 4 Ellasen:
