My baby girl, Ellie is now four! We celebrated her birthday on the 16th. We woke up at our friend's house the morning of her birthday. We were staying with our friends due to the power being out at our house because of the Ice Storm that hit the Midwest last week. We were without power for a whole week (the reason why this post is coming so late, I was without internet!), but loved every minute of our fun time with friends. They have 5 year old triplets and a 2 yr. old son....so needless to say, Ellie woke up and had an instant party with all her friends! The picture below is of her and her friend Kendall, one of the triplets, who also just celebrated her birthday on the 13th. Their family celebration is to make "waffle houses" and park a chocolate bar car in the "house/ garage" :) Ellie loved this special Birthday Breakfast made by Kendall's daddy.
We are so blessed by our sweet Eliana Marie. Her heart is full of compassion and loves to snuggle. She loves to dance and brings joy into our days with her love for life and the need to "jig" all day long!

Hi Liz! I don't know if you will remember me, we went to NTBI together. My name is Elizabeth (McCarthy) Ferguson. I was good friends with Becky Uyaivato. I think you were a year behind me in school. Anyway, I wanted to write to say what a blessing and encouragement your blog has been. I found your blog recently...can't remember exactly how I happened to come across it. It's neat to see where God has lead others whos paths I have crossed. The first time I read over some of your blog entries I found myself in tears at how God has used you and your family to bring glory to His name. You are an encouragement to me as a mom of 3 (by the way we both had babies on the same day...my daughter Annaliese was born on
5-21-01 :))
The Lord has brought you to my mind so many times (even though we did not know each other that well)since I found your blog.
Thanks for sharing your joys and your sorrows...even to those that you are not aware are being touched. Your family is in my prayers!
Friend in Christ and fellow New Triber,
Elizabeth
