Happy Birthday Ellis!

Fourteen years ago Ellis came into our lives and it has been wonderful. There are so many good qualities that Ellis has but the one that I believe is the most impressive is his ability to express gratitude for everything he has or has been given.  If you have read a book you will probably find that Ellis has already read it.  Not only that, he has probably read it more than once.  I often tease him about hating to go to the movies with him because it drives him crazy that the movie is different than the book and he has to let me know throughout the show.  But if I am going to a movie or anywhere else, he is the one I would always call, because he is such great company.  When he sees something that interests him he will study everything about it.  Ellis is an artist.  When I had Cub Scouts he came over to the house and drew a big dragon on the driveway to show the scouts what could be done with chalk drawing.  Ellis is into Dr. Who and a Dungeon and Dragons fan.  He plays the piano.  He is in the cadet corp at his high school and this year was chosen to be on the drill team.  In other words--Ellis is just a great young man.  And he is our grandson!  Happy Birthday Ellis.
