My cup runneth over....

Okay....so we are back! I hope!=) I'm attempting to begin keeping up the blog again. I logged into my account tonight and laughed because if you knew how many attempts I've made to pick this back up you would think I was crazy. I have several saved blog entries that I started writing and abruptly stopped in the middle of. I think I just get overwhelmed when I think about summarizing all that has happened in our life over the past year. Sooo, I'm giving up on trying to do that and will begin with the latest, most life changing event in our life....our newest little blessing...ELLA GRACE!=)

Just when I thought my heart was overflowing with love to the point that it could not hold another ounce, the Good Lord proved me wrong! God so richly blessed us with another little miracle, Ella Grace, on Feb. 3! How humbling it is that He would entrust us with another one of His children! What a joy she already is to us! It has been so fun to watch her sweet personality unfold over the past 7 weeks! The best part thus far has been watching Olivia step right into her big sister role! She absolutely adores "Elwa Gwace"! It amazes me that God has so purposefully instilled in little girls the desire to nurture like a mother. Olivia is the best little mother to Ella Grace getting diapers, wipes, putting her paci in every time she cries, and best of all talking to her in that silly baby voice we all seem to break out when around a baby. Olivia looooves Ella Grace....and Ella Grace looooves Olivia. Ella Grace knows when Olivia walks in the room. She instantly begins looking for her in the direction of her voice. Olivia has even gotten a few smiles from her baby sister already. It thrills my heart that they have each other as sisters. It is something I never got to experience and to this day I feel like I missed out on something pretty special!! I'm looking forward to watching them grow up together!

Needless to say, there has been quite a bit of a lifestyle change around the Letson household recently and despite the exhaustion and everything else that comes with having a newborn and a toddler I can honestly say there is no better way to express the last 7 weeks of my life other than by telling you....my cup runneth over. I promise to do my best to keep you updated on this journey the best I can! For now, enjoy some pics of Ella Grace's arrival!
