Happy “Forever Together” day. You are great parents and a wonderful couple. Jim says it was ordained of God for you two. We are over the top about Ella’s progress. We knew she is something very special to the Lord. All our wishes for a wonderful 17th “Together Forever” day. Lol Aunt Char and Jim

WOW Ella, I remember when your Mom said to me I have someone I would like you to meet. Well that was the guy minus the tuxedo. I am very happy that your stats and fluid reductions are on track. T&J congratulations to my heroes on this anniversary. Have a good day and keep the good news coming. “Go Ella”. Love, Grandpa

Wow!! 17 years ago… soon you will be looking back at all of this and saying… “Do you remember when our first baby girl was born? That was a tough road but look at her now.” I can’t wait to celebrate that day with you. Just think… in 17 years, Ella will be driving.
I know that is a long way off but just take each day one at a time and savor each moment that you have with her because they really do grow up fast.
Congratulations on 17 years!! That is so awesome.
I’m so glad to hear about the great stats and recovery of your beautiful baby girl.
Thank you God for your amazing gift of life. Thank you for Josh and Tina’s walk with you and the example that they are to all of us. May they endure the race that you have set out for them.
Happy Labor Day!! May Ella continue to get stronger and stronger as she keeps on keeping on!!
Love, Melissa

Guys, I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the prom photo, but every time it makes me smile!! How we change.
BTY Josh, Steven has taken your lead and decided to shave his head today. Like you, he looks like he could be a professional wrestler 😉 Very sexy!!
We love you guys, and are so glad you found one another all those years ago. Life is some journey, and it’s much easier when you have that special someone by your side each step of the way.

Go Ella! How fun it will be for you to look back, not only on this blog but on the pics of your adorable parents as _they_ grew. Tina, you just become more beautiful and motherhood has only deepened that. Josh….well, we love you, too, buddy =) Just kidding – you know you’re our favorite sexy bald margarita maker ever and an incredible, wonderful dad. What a blessing to look back on the milestones and remember what they represent of the Lord in our lives. Happy 17th – here’s to 77 more, and all our love always. XOXOXO
