Happy Birthday Ella!

This is my niece Ella. You may have seen her pictures here and here. She is a miracle child in so many ways. She was born a preemie, underwent a major surgery that took their family all the way back to a specialist in New York City and despite all of this ... she is beautiful, smart and pretty much the sweetest child ever.

She loves her cousins. They get so excited to talk to each other on the phone and really not more than a day goes by without them getting to see each other. Truly, they are more like siblings than cousins.

So Miss Ella on your 3rd birthday I dedicate an entire blog post devoted to you. Even if you didn't want your picture taken that day. I love you.

Your favorite Aunt! (No .... not Genna, it's Mickelle)
