My little Gumdrop, enjoying her bounty, after a wonderful performance in Ballet Des Moines' Nutcracker.Ella is such a gift from God. I am amazed at what she does, what she can do, and most importantly, what she can make those around her do.
Ella just has this infectious personality that makes you want to hug her. She just makes you happy to be wherever you are at any given moment.
Ella makes me grateful for good friends that take time out of their day to support her and love her.
Ella makes me laugh at just about anything, because, well, she's laughing at just about anything.
Ella makes me want to fight like a lion to protect her from harm and hurt.
Ella makes me want to get up and do more, learn more, create more and live more.
Ella makes me proud.
Ella makes me want to pull my hair out at times.
Ella makes me feel so loved by my family, as they gather together to celebrate her successes and share in her favorite thing, dessert!
Ella makes me want to be a better mom. More patient, more quiet, more curious, more understanding, more fun, and more forgiving.
Ella is my angel. She was sent here to teach me about the good things in life. She is a great teacher!
Thank you Ella. I love you!
