Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

Wednesday, February 21, 2007






Hi to all-it's Hoyle and Doris. I thought the pictures are a perfect update of our children. Bailey is just a great sister. Little Ellie entertains all of us--altho she has not been cross or crabby she will NOT sleep. Gretchen suspected something amiss--so--Yes, Ear infection and sinus infection--So, medicine started tonight and she will really be a goer now--with some sleep. Ellie has learned so much in the 14 days her family has been with her. She crawled yesterday--has started putting things in her mouth ( not food) and will pull up. Our days here are very precious and each day is a thrill. The little 4 year old neighbor came over and said, "I think she looks like she was born in China!!" Yep, she sure does. Friday at the end of the school day she will be a visitor in Bailey's classroom. Thank you one and all for the thoughts and kindesses and concern you each have shown for this big project that our children have taken on. We are very proud of them. Hoyle and Doris

Hello Hill Family,

What wonderful pictures! Bailey and Ellie are absolutely so cute together. Ellie is very blessed to have a family like the Hill family! We can't wait to meet her.

Hadn't checked this site for a few days. Thank you for the update. You all look beautiful and I'm sure your days have been full since you returned to the USA. We are so happy for you. Pinch yourself once in a while so you can be sure it really is happening. Take care and God Bless. Love Lynnette

Can't wait to meet Ellie. Rest up, I hope this is a one time ear infection and she will remain health and happy. Sounds like she is really making up time. She will be one very soon, I'm glad she gets to celebrate her birthday with her family. Take care and God bless Love Lynnette
PS>Travis and Cindi Nelson had a baby boy on wednesday. Trevor Virgil, 7lbs6oz 20inches. They came home yesterday. Our family is growing. Yeah!

Gretchen,
What a great site. Wasn't it just yesterday you and Steve got married? Now you have two beautiful daughters. What an inspiration you are in so many ways. I need to put time into a site like this now that my kids are moving out (Tarrah) or preparing to and on with their lives.
Glad you are sharing. Do your brothers or your folks have a site also?
Our prayers are with your family.
Shyla
