~TODAY~

I WANT TO HOLD ELLIE! I'll be in town late tonight, and hope to spend some time with my FAVORITE NIECE!

1 more day!

I cant wait to kiss on that baby!!!!

2 more days!!!

Just 2 more days! I hope that we'll be able to catch up! It is gonna be a whirlwind of a trip! Hope all is well with you both! Plus, don't you two get to see Phantom on Saturday! That should be awesome! I remember seeing that as a kid in Chicago! Have fun!

6 more days!

I'll be in town in only 6 more days! I'm getting ramped up excited! I hope that we'll be able to spend some time together. Del and Diann are having a BBQ at their place Sunday (I'll get your more info as I know it) and you guy and gals are invited! So it could be a lot of fun! I don't expect or anticipate for you two to take off any time off of work, but I'd love to see little Ellie bellie Friday if possible (since I'm free until the BBQ at K's folks)... I guess we can talk about it later. I know you both are busy, and I hope all is well. XOXO! LOVE YOU!

...9 more days!...

Just 9 more days! I'm super excited and cannot wait to see you both!

Todd, I hope your new job is going well. Seems like it is keeping you super busy, though.

Beautiful Ross Family

So Ellie is walking! How cool is that!?!
Dad and I are looking at her beautiful pictures. I love the photo of Ellie sitting on her chair with her hair in the two ponies high on her head; how adorable.

Ellie walking

Yes, Ellie can go about 6 feet without holding onto anything. mom and I will sit on the floor and have her walk back and forth between us!

have a couple cute new pics!

... any unassisted steps? ...

Is Ellie walking yet? I'm not getting any updates, and it is driving me batty!!!!

I'll be in STL in only 15 more days! I hope to see a lot of you three, if possible!

21 days!

I'll be in STL in only 21 days! I'm really looking forward to coming into town, and I know Derek is also. He is really looking forward to seeing little Ellie if possible! I have the wedding rehearsal 10-1 but D wasn't invited, so he'll be hanging out somewhere and would love to see you all. Friday is K's family BBQ - so we're trying to work around her wedding weekend. Sunday we both leave at 5... but we are free before then to visit. I hope you can find some time in your calendar to hang out with your sis and bro-in-law!

Ellie's pretty blue dress

What a pretty baby!!!! Gosh she looks great in that dress!!! She needs to start walking so that it doesn't matter if the dresses are too long! :-D

I can't get enough cake pictures

I just can't get enough of pictures of Ellie covered in cake!
