sweet baby Elli

   I guess I am a little behind in starting a blog, but the newness of mommyhood, coupled with going back to work, has taken up much of my "extra" time.  So, even though this picture dates back 4 months ago, that is where my blog shall begin.  The first week of September, Justin and I welcomed (with open arms and the biggest smiles, I might add) the beautiful life of Elliott Tate Cashion.  She has been the most precious addition to our life, turning our marriage of 5 years into a little family of three...no four--I mustn't forget our dog Reece!  
  The past 4 months have been a whirlwind of joy, laughter, sleeplessness, and awe-inspired wonder, as we  have watched this little, God-given bundle transform before our eyes.  I can hardly believe our little girl, starting out at only 5 lbs 9 oz, now weighs in at over 15!  
  Several of our friends are expecting in the coming 6 months, and I am so excited for what God has in store for them!  Being a mother has brought me more fulfillment than I could have ever imagined, so it warms my heart to know that dear friends of mine (all expecting BOYS!)  get to experience the same, oh-so-soon!  So, more pics of Elli, along with her "boyfriends," will be posted soon!
