Some reasons why being Elli's mom is the best job ever!

1. She prays for others, including just about everyone we know who is pregnant or wanting to be pregnant.

2. Elli tooted at the table and when I asked her what she should say she replied, "Ahh."

3. Elli asks me to be a horse nearly everyday. She feeds me, brushes my hair, rides on my back, and pets me.

4. She dances to any music and does cartwheels all the time!

5. She thinks she is in charge when we are not at home, trying to take care of others. (especially at church)

6. She learns quickly and surprises me with her amazing memory.

7. She comes up with amazing stories. For instance, one evening on the way home from church, the clouds were covering the moon and I got a running commentary which included things like, "The moon is putting on a show. Someone is on the moon. Jesus is on the moon and he is putting on a show for me."

8. From the story above I am reminded of another reason, Elli relates everything to Jesus!

9. She is funny and makes me laugh, often.

10. She really is an answer to our prayers
