Today is Ellie’s 8th birthday. She has been counting down the days since February 1st and she can hardly believe it is here! Unlike her bigger sister, this little fashionista had no problem posing for pictures for me and she even had some suggetions for ME. We had to try out some different locations because I took these pictures in the afternoon and it was sunny here. Actually it was an amazing day with highs in the high 50s. The funny thing is that my camera did not register the sky today as it normally does in the summer. That picture with the white background was not shot on a backdrop. That was actually a beautiful blue sky. It always surprises me when the camera doesn’t see what my eyes sees!
Let me tell you about this girlie. She is my sweet, sensative, quiet girl. If I don’t shut up and let quiet happen Ellie is content to stay quiet. (We have a group of college friends we get together with every other month and there are many of them that have never heard her speak. No joke!) Lord knows, her sisters can certainly pick up that slack. As I’ve mentioned before, she is quite into fashion, has just really gotten into enjoying chapter books and she is fantastic at math. (This last one she definitely got from her Dad.) Ellie is also very artistic. She really spends a lot of time when she works on a project and usually approaches it from an angle I never thought of.
We are so proud of her. Here are my favorite pictures from yesterday…
Speaking of suggestions, here’s the picture Ellie wanted me to post on my blog. She loved her own thoughful expression while she was making a decision. So funny!
