it's amazing looking back at my pregnancy and the first months of ellery's life, what a big role our young life family has already played in ellery's life. i remember being at camp with a group of amazing girls, calling me "baby mama," protecting me during crazy obstacle courses and constantly asking how baby was doing. the leaders even planned a "baby" themed club for kyle & i. the day after ellery was born, a group of 4 high school boys came to meet ellery at the hospital, and deliver her very first balloon :) little did ellery know, she had many excited high school "aunts" and "uncles" ready to shower her with love!
it also means ellery gets to tag along as i meet with my yl girls, but i don't think she minds one bit! just recently, we met up with katrina, who actually graduated last year but was back in tosa to visit. ellery probably already knew her voice seeing as katrina would always "talk" to ellery, sending sweet messages to her by talking to my belly. it was good to catch up, talk about life, and i know ellery loved seeing her, too (even if she did sleep most of the time!) ellery says, "love you aunt katrina!"
