Being happy doesnt mean that everything is perfect.

It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections...

"Oh the places you will go"… A reflection of the past and excited about the future

As 2013 comes to an end, and we look forward to Ellie starting school in 2014, it has made me reflect on the last 5 years.

I still cannot believe that Ellie is going to be a school kid, a little prep kid.

Its not that I ever doubted her, or that I thought it wouldn't happen…

Its just that when you look back at the first few years of Ellies life, we had a lot of downs compared to ups… & when we had those downs it was very hard to look into the future, to imagine what Ellie would do, to imagine what she would become, and to imagine what she would achieve.

Upon reflecting back on Ellies 5 years, I went back to old photos, and put this video together. This shows how far our little fragile baby has come.

She has become a strong, determined, resilient, beautiful, young girl… I am very excited to see what 2014 brings for Ellie and for Ellie to show us all that she can achieve.

Enjoy the video, it is a long one, as I had to many favourite photos.

Your off to great places, Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting, So… Get on your way
