In the last 6 months I have been overwhelmed by God's graciousness, love, and innumerable blessings! I never saw myself as the "lovey mother" type but there is something about a child of your own that transforms everything you thought you knew about yourself. That in itself is a wonderful blessing. What a blessing everyday is! Ella is a blessing of health, God's beauty, and joy! I tell Phillip often, "I rounded the corner today and saw her sitting there smiling at me and I was literally knocked down by the fact she is mine." She looks nothing like me but she is mine. God is so amazing and we are so blessed! I don't think there was ever a time in my life before having Ella that I was flooded numerous times a day with how awesome God's love is. A lady told me shortly after Ella was born that she never truly understood what God must have felt for His only son to be sacrificed for us until she held her first child. WOW! It's so true! If you are a parent you know exactly what I'm talking about and if you aren't I pray you have the opportunity to experience not only Parenthood but how strong that love is that God gave to us!
Blessings!

Hey Mel! Great to see you posting to the blog as well. The picture of Ella is just too cute! No poor grammar or word misusage (is that a word) seen on my part. However, I am notorious for those myself.
See ya soon!

one more thing...I see you in Ella.
thanks! I'm glad I succeeded. I did make Phillip read it before I actually posted so I wouldn't be humiliated. And the more I look at picts of her I do think she has my eyes. Can't wait for you to see our Family pict we had made this last week! See ya in less than a week!

Melissa--you get an A in grammer. It was great to see the pics of Ella. Will visit your site ofte. Hope all goes well with the house. I'll keep up with you through the blog and through Scott. Oh yeah--
God is truly awesome as we watch our children and are so amazed at what we can teach them and learn from them with God's help. It just keeps getting better.
