First Visit

On Saturday, April 23, 2011, on Ellie's 3 month anniversary, we visited our daughter for the first time. I won't write much about it, because I felt pretty numb. Earlier, I was pretty angry because we were trying to prepare for Easter to come, and I didn't have my youngest daughter with us. While I was pregnant with her, I would go to stores, and see dresses that her and Sarah and could wear, that matched. I was so excited to take pictures of my 4 kids, in their Easter outfits in our nice green backyard.......but this year, I didn't get the kids any Easter outfits. I just didn't care to. But at the same time, I felt bad. I guess one year off, is ok....right?

We decorated Easter eggs with our kids and Allan's mother, along with their family friend, Carrie and her 2 kids. It was really fun. Right after, we got changed to go to the cemetery, and deliver our pink tulips and butterfly balloon, that Sarah picked out, because she said Eleanor likes butterflies, and her favorite color is pink. Sweet girl. Right after the visit, we went to a wedding of a cousin of Allan's, at the Gilcrease Orchards. It was their first wedding, they've ever had there. It was pretty dang cute, and I got some stinkin awesome pictures of my family! The whole day was a roller coaster of emotions. It was a weird day.

I'm happy that we went though. And I'm happy that I took some pictures of our visit. I never want to forget to visit her often. I never want her to feel forgotten. She is apart of our family, and we miss her terribly.

Here are a few of my favorites:
