Big (little) News!!!

So I was going to get on here and tell you all about how my 2nd birthday was super sweet, but then something amazing happened.

My kid sister came along. Not this kid sister. This one:








I admit, it was a little bit weird for me at first.


But I would like to think that I'm warming up to it now.


Mommy and Daddy explained that having a little sister means one thing and one thing only for me: Responsibility.


Between you and me, I sure hope there's some fun involved along the way, too. Anyway, try and guess by looking at this picture who has slept the least over the past 48 hours.


If you guessed me, then you are very, very wrong, but its understandable given my early-evening bed-head.

Well, thanks for being patient. And for that I'll leave you with this little snippet of my baby sister's first few days out in the world.

I woke up this morning wondering about you all and I'm so glad that you had that video! I'll let you know now that we will probably steal that idea when Dom's sibling comes in July. Congratulations!!

Okay so I'm at work and finally got to see the video, at least I'm not the only one that started crying while watching it. Although it was a little embarrassing in front of some of my co-workers. I can't wait to me the gorgeous new member of the Phelps' family. Jared, I miss you much, enjoy your little sister until I can make it to see you again. Kisses to all.

Love always,

Ellen

Beautiful girl, everybody! Saw the pix on Emily's site. We hope Dominic takes to his new sibling as happily as Jared did in the video.
