La Bella Ella

Ella planned a Mommy-Daughter date for an achievement program the children do at church called "Faith in God".  She was was so excited.  She wrote me an invitation, picked out my clothes, and picked a restaurant. On Friday evening, we went o.u.t!

Carl's Jr. was never more fun!  We talked and laughed together. We made lists of our heros, our fears, and our favorite stories (she's got lots of favorite stories). And we took some self-portraits.  It was a wonderful evening.  I really love Ella.  She's much smarter than I was at her age.  She reads constantly, anything she can get her hands on.  She loves Roald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, and has read nearly every Magic Tree House book.  She's helpful, sensitive, and caring.  Ella's by far my favorite daughter!
