Our Ella-Bella has changed so very much since she entered our lives a year and a half ago! She's such a big girl, who is learning something new every day.  Ella loves to play with her big brother. She will follow him and chase him and yell "hi" at him across the room. She gives him (and all of us) sweet hugs and kisses often. She kinda thinks he's great, and the feeling is mutual. Today, he has told me no fewer than 10 times that "Eya" is "pwitty!"   I was looking for something on my blog and came across this gem . I'm so thankful God is answering my prayers for them.  She enjoys looking at books almost more than anything else. I find her like this in the living room and in their bedroom many times a day.  She's learning to help clean up toys and to put dirty clothes in the basket, and she enjoys the praise from us when she does a great job.  She's still a good eater, but her table manners still need improvement (...
