elliana grace turned 3 today. what a gift she has been to us these past 3 years. she will always be my first baby, the one that taught me to be a mama and my precious girl. i count it a great privilege to be your mommy elliana grace.
elli... you are such an amazing big sister. though your brother might be bigger than you right now and will be for the rest of your life, you watch out for him and are teaching him so many things each and everyday. i love seeing your relationship blossom . i know you will be such a big help as a new little person joins our family in a couple weeks.
though i am your mama and it is my job to teach you, you are teaching me so much even though you do not even know you are doing so. the pure joy that you display daily is such an amazing example for me on how i need to live. because of our hope in jesus we have no reason to not have joy pouring out of our lives regardless of our circumstances. thank you for reminding me of that daily! 
you are a precious friend that loves to be in relationship with people. i love to watch you play with others and pray that you will continue to care for others as you grow.
i am thankful for these past 3 years... more thankful that you can know! i look forward to as many more as the Lord will bless us with. i might also pray that they go a little slower but i doubt that will happen!
i love to pieces elliana grace! you're 3 today!
