All For Her

These past few weeks have been full of excitement.....

excitement for a little girl who is ALMOST home.

First there was the shower,

Katy, Cindy, Me & Kara

It was such a fun night, almost everyone that was invited attended.

We laughed and cried, but most of all we celebrated.

AND...
then the very next week,

it was Ella's 1st Birthday!

So, Katy and I had a "plan" to surprise Cindy on this very special day.  We decorated, baked cupcakes and ordered pizzas.  But the best part...

seeing this look on her face!

Nathaniel and Nolan opened Ella's presents....

and the boys sang, "Happy Birthday!"    

(3 year old style!)

while Elizabeth & Nolan blew out her candles.

All for her....

So, now we wait.

Wait for a little girl to be held by her mommy and daddy,

to meet her big brothers,

and to loved by so many.


But the wait is almost over,
She's coming home.
