Final Post on this Blog

Wow...no posts since January.  This post will be a smattering of photos since then as a last post on this blog.  Anyone interested in seeing newer photos of Ellie and the rest of our family can find some at our Family/Ministry website:  www.imccracken.net

Ellie has never really been a "doll person" but yesterday at Shriners Hospital she was given an "American Girl" doll and she really took to it immediately, holding it, stroking it, smiling at it, holding its hand, etc.  She wasn't really interested in it today but she definitely was yesterday.  We wonder if it had anything to do with her baby niece Phoebe visiting recently and getting to "hold" her (maybe she thought it was a real baby).
