All About Ellie

Ellie Ruth Romero turned 2 on August 27th.  I feel like Ellie has gotten the short end of the stick with Thomas passing away.  Its been hard to be festive and make things fun for her when I'm working through my grief with Thomas.  I've decided to set a goal to try harder to be a better mom to her, and make her childhood a memorable one.
