This girl right here. Our sweet Ellie Marie, sweet as can be....is 10!!! WHAT?! Elle, we love you so much and we are so grateful that God gave you to us. Ellie you surprise us at every turn. You love so hard, you love your brothers so much and feel left out when they are busy doing something else. You are a lover of all animals. You still love all different drinks and you love snacks. You are independent and confident. You love to read, make friendship bracelets, and this summer you started your own business called Elle's Home Helpers. (You even had business cards made and passed them out to all our neighbors!) You truly believe you can do anything and we pray you keep that spirit! Take these pictures above and below as an example. Rochester Hills participated in this community event called Play Ball. They do this event across the country where your skills score is compared to others at your age bracket. At the batting skill rotation they were ready to throw you a softball when you informed them that you don't play softball, you play baseball. A week later, Dad got a call from city council saying that our son, Elle, had won the 10 year old age bracket! Not only did you win, you won against boys in that division (because of the baseball, they accidentally switched you)! Dad drove you down to pick up your trophy!!! Let nothing get in your way and keep doing big and brave thing, Ellie!!
