Happy Birthday, Ellie!

Sweet little girl
Blond little curl
Big blue eyes
Full of surprise

So much fun
Not to be outdone
By a little brother
Or any other

Along came some trials
For just awhile
But with each test
You found yourself Blessed



Lots to bear
Fighting fear
Sorrows were overcome
And battles were won

Open the doors
The future is yours
Stay strong, stay stoic
To your Mom you're heroic


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELLIE!

  2. Oh, Jackie, you're up late too!
    I wanted to stay up and post something for Ellie, and then I started reading blogs, I've been away for just a day or two and feel like I missed so much!

    So happy to hear that you'll be back!
    And thanks so much for your kind notes, and for your kind comments here, and for your good wishes!
    Love, Eileen

  4. Wonderful poem and tribute to Ellie and she is lovely...guess that just oozes eveywhere in your family genes.

    So pleased to see you posting so i send an extra thank you to Ellie for having a birthday. She has such an interesting name that it would be neat if you posted about (we all should) how and why your kids got the names that they did.

    blessings galore and happy hugs,

    marcy

  6. Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful comments and your kind birthday wishes for Ellie! I appreciate it and I know she will too! She took today off work and Jayden wanted her to walk him to school, so that's where she's off to now.

    And, Marcy, you are right, it would be interesting for us to do a post on the names we chose for our children and the reasons behind them. I'd enjoy reading every single one!
    You always come up with such good ideas!

    Love you all!, Eileen

  8. How about if we choose a day next week and any of those days that anyone wants to, they can post about the where and why of each child's and grandchild's name??

    blessings and name hugs,

  12. Ellie is so beautiful! I agree with Marcy..you all seem to have that same beauty!! I loved your poem...very sweet and heartfelt. You are good at writing poems...I hope Ellie has a very Happy Birthday!! (Happy Birthday to the Mommy too!) I'm glad to see you back...I was missing you terribly:( Did you get my e-mail? I sent you your pen-pal exchange address....If not I'll have to send you another e-mail.

  13. Sorry I have to post again..I forgot to say I love what you've done with your page! And..I like Marcy's idea of telling about our children's names. That would be very interesting to read. Although..with mine, I just always had those names picked out..ever since I was a little girl. Except for Sam...
    But that's another short story...
    Love You! Jerelene
