Happy Birthday Ellie Grace

Four years ago today a precious baby girl was born.  We got a phone call telling us a baby was being born who was going to need a temporary home.  We were asked if we would consider taking her and her 3 1/2 year old sister.  We are licensed as a therapeutic foster home and the baby girl was considered special needs.  Other families passed on taking the girls for a variety of reasons and when we were the next in line, we said yes.  Four years later that baby girl is perfectly healthy with no special needs.  I can not imagine the love and joy we would have missed out on if we had said no.  She is spunky, sweet, precocious, precious, and brings our entire family so much happiness.  We are very happy to call her our daughter now.  We love you Ellie Grace!

What a precious gift from God.  It is not possible for us to love her more.  Happy happy birthday.
