Ellie’s First Birthday

The field of competition for ‘most adorable one-year-olds’ is fierce, and everyone has their biases, but I’ll put my vote in for Ellie. She is such a happy baby, a great sleeper, and definitely has the best head of hair. Plus, she has the best possible parents in my friends Jenny and Kevin. They are like…
