happy birthday ellie

Look who’s ONE already!

One year ago today was a pretty eventful day for our family. With Jason and Finn away in Madison, my mom on a winter break in Alabama and my father 100 miles away we got the news that Baby Thiel II was coming with no time to wait for any of them to make it home.

Thank goodness for sisters. Kari, you were my rock that day and I will be forever grateful for the strength of your hand and heart and ability to quickly get a camera to the hospital. Thank you for keeping one dry eye that day and capturing little Ellie’s unexpected entrance into the world.

Ellie, happy birthday my dear. You are one strong little babe and we love you with all our hearts!
