Memories of my precious Grandpa Glen James Ellis


Everyone that knows my Grandpa Ellis will not be suprised to see tears in his eyes.  He is so happy to see my precious Ellie.  One thing I have treasured about my Grandpa is how much he loves all of us.  Loves.  I am so grateful that my children and I had this time with him.  I wish that I would have taken a picture of him sitting in the recliner (in the back) while he read through a memorial book in his honor made by my Aunt Diane.  He was so happy reading all the kind words, memories and pictures.  And of course he was tearing up quite a bit.  He is so precious.




He's so sweet.


You have inspired me to be more like
my Savior.  Thanks Grandpa.







My Daddy loves his Daddy
 


  

 

We had the unique and priceless opportunity to visit the Joseph Smith Farm and The Sacred Grove with Grandpa Ellis as
our personal guide.  I love this picture of him gazing out from the visitors center at the farm he once worked,  played and loved as a boy.
See http://joeliznkids.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html for videos of Grandpa telling us stories of his memories of The Joseph Smith Farm or just go to the 2008 section of our blog at the very end.

How is it possible to fit that much cute into such a teeny, weeny body? Little Ellie is 4 weeks old and only weighs 6 lbs. 6 oz. She has gained a whole ounce! Am I worried? Why should I be? My last 2 babies were the same way and they're just fine. Just fine....

Baby Ellie


Introducing our precious baby Ellie! This is mostly for the benefit of my sister living far, far away.
I don't know how much detail to give...are there any crazy people viewing this blog! Anyway, Ellie precious beyond belief and her 5 Mommies love her dearly. Joel is already goo-goo over her and Aaron feels like a real man now that he has a smaller person to take care of. It's amazing how much peace a newborn can bring to a family! I must say that even though this is my 6th child, it's probably my easiest to deal with. However, her 9 day fight with jaundice has not been fun and Ellie's inability to nurse has also been frustrating. There has to be opposition in all things right?
