Happy 1st Birthday, Ellie Jo Gramkow!

As I went in to check on my sleeping Ellie last night (just because that’s what moms do, they check frequently on their sleeping children, right?), I placed and held my hand on her ribs, near her heart and couldn’t help but think about the long journey the Lord has taken Team Gramkow on this past year. I can remember when Ben and I would place and hold our hands on our baby girl, so she could feel our hands and feel secure. We may not have been able to hold our little princess right away, but we did get to touch her...and with our hands we could feel each breath. And from each breath since that day, one year ago today…we are forever thankful. Thank you, Jesus, for the amazing gift of Ellie Jo. Happy Birthday Baby Girl. Love, your Mommy.

Tomorrow's Ellie's 1st Birthday!

We're excited for ELLIE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY tomorrow! I can't believe it's been a year already! Crazy! We're having a celebration tomorrow night with some friends and the family representative (Wen's fam) with some dinner, cake and ice cream! I'll post more tomorrow morning and include some pictures!

Computer Outage....not cool!

So I apologize for not blogging lately. We are out of a computer :( It's currently getting fixed, but obviously not soon enough! I hope to play a lot of "catch up" when our fixed computer returns!
