Shhh,....my baby is sleeping


Hi, there. This is a picture of my baby sleeping. He loves to be held when he sleeps which can be a problem at times...mom says. : ) He is super sweet and loves to cuddle next to you. My daddy was holding him here. Reid likes the binky at times, but he can't hold it in his mouth himself....he needs help. He is super sweet. Sweet dreams, Reid!

I am a ballerina tonight!


So...I decided to hang up my princess gear tonight and trade it in for my ballerina wear instead. I love to wear my tutu. I think tutu is a funny word to say!!! TUTU! I laugh every time I say it! I love being a ballerina!!!!

Princess Ellie


I love playing dress up. This is my princess dress and my clomping shoes (as I call them). I wear this most of the time at home, and one time I almost got to wear it to the library. I want to be a princess when I grow up. I love to twirl my dress around and dance in it. Mommy and Daddy say that I am their princess. I love to dress up!

Big Boy Reid




Look how big my baby brother is! He is very strong (but we knew that....from all he's been through). He can hold his head up...and can move it all around even from side to side from a laying down position. He is an amazing little guy. We love you, Reid!!!!

Surgery #1 Pictures





Sorry if these are a little graphic. Reid was so swollen after surgery...but I wanted you all to see how his lip was attached on the top to both sides. He really looks quite good. These are just some recovery pics taken after surgery while in his room during this past week in the Cleveland Clinic. You'll also see his Aunt Carol holding him. She and Uncle Kevin came to see Reid and hold him while he was in the hospital. We have a great family! We know we are lucky. Reid is comfortably healing and seems to be getting into the swing of eating with a syringe instead of a bottle. He gets frustrated because he wants to suck...but he is just not able to do this yet. We are scheduling appointments for this week to see what the next step of this journey is. We will keep you updated. Love you all...
Hello, and welcome to my page! I am so glad you are here. I am going to try and show you the average life of a 5 year old from my perspective. Mommy and Daddy will help me along the way if I get stuck.

Let me first introduce my family to you. I am Ellie. I am a 6 year old. I live in Ohio with my Mommy, Daddy, little brother Reid, and dog, Sophie. My mommy is a teacher. She teaches nine and ten year olds and loves it. She has been teaching for twelve years. My daddy works with computers. He works hard everyday.

We all love spending time together. I have wonderful grandparents and a terrific extended family. I am a very lucky girl. Thank you for visiting my page. Write to me any time. I love getting mail!!!

Many blessing to you all.

Love,
Little Ski (Ellie)

Told ya, my hair can be wild! And you thought I was kidding!

Hmmm, Blue's Brother's perhaps?
