Friends

Elly has many friends all over the country. This is a post illustrating her great social skills...

This is her friend, Lincoln Hale II.

She's always so smiley when she meets new friends!
Lincoln lives in Utah with his mom and dad, our friends Anna and Lincoln Hale I. We met Linc I in Romania while serving full-time missions for the LDS church. We are such great friends and we miss them terribly. Hopefully, whenever we get together, Elly and Linc II will get along and play beautifully. Lincoln II is two months younger than Elly. This picture was taken when Elly was 7 months and Linc was 5.

This is her friend Ava Green.

Notice how Elly is giving Ava some space.
Ava lives in Las Vegas with her mom and dad, our friends Chailyn and Brian Green. We met Brian also while in Romania. We went to visit them and took this picture when Elly was 3 months and Ava was 1 month old. We also miss them and wish we could see them more. Somehow, we always move away from each other! Look at how little Elly is. Seems like a million years ago.

This is Elly's first cousin once removed, Rose Fletcher.


Notice where the little white bow is in each of these chronological pictures. Elly is so good at sharing! We saw Rose at Grammie's house in July at "Family Gathering". It's a tradition in our family to meet each Sunday evening at my Grandparents' home in Utah. If you're in town you'll always find cousins and new friends when you go to Family Gathering. She is adorable and very used to being poked and prodded since she has 9 older siblings! That's right, 9!

These are Elly's friends from Stroller Strides, Sage and Timothy.

She knows them better than all her other friends, because she sees them every day! She gets so excited to see them and has a great time playing with them after the moms are done working out! Elly is two weeks younger than Timothy and two months older than Sage. This picture was taken today!
