On Sunday after all of the fires and sleepless night Ella did it! She song the National Anthem at the Walk Now for Autism. I could not have been prouder. Her team “My Sister Ella” was represented with family and friends all wearing t-shirts we pulled out of nowhere the night before. Here is the video of the experience.
well, there aren't enough words to describe how wonderful that was!! Listening to her pure, sweet little voice really touched me....and I know several adults who don't know all the words to that song!!

How proud you must be! She was just wonderful. That takes so much courage to get in front on an audience and that is not an easy song to sing.
But she was awesome.
Yeah Mom and Yeah Ella!
Thanks for sharing!

Koben and I just watched it Koben said "Ella did GREAT!" she was fabulous. We love that little girl so much. We are sorry we missed that. How lucky she is to have a mom like you and you must be so proud of the little lady she is!

Another tear jerker brought to us by Ella. I want to be her when I grow up.
So glad that your house was safe and sound this weekend.

You must be so proud!!! I also have a daughter with autism. She will be 15 may 24, 2009. She was born with hypo-plastic left heart syndrome, after her 2 of e surgeries we found out that she had autism. May God bless you and you family. I have watched your blog for awhile now and was touched when you spoke about losing your mother as a child on scrapbook lifestyles. I think that you are an extraordinary woman!
