The Ella Award
Last week, we were invited to the pre-kindergarden graduation at Tanner & Anson's elementary school. Ella would have been in this class this year and the school wanted to do something special to recognize her. Dacia was asked about Ella's personality so they could find a little girl that Ella would have had fun playing with. The Ella Award was presented by the principal, Ms Houck, as the final award before the closing videos and pictures.

The "Ella Award"

This is Alley, who was presented with the award and her parents.After the ceremony, the children and their families went outside for a balloon release for Ella, just like we did at her Washington burial. This was all planned by the school and PTO without our knowledge or involvement.
They also set up a table with Ella's picture, a pink flower and a pink balloon. This is the Saxe Gotha Elementary principal, who came to visit our family at the hospital after the accident. When she came into the room last May, the boys suddenly became very serious. We should have her over more often! Apparently the boys haven't told Joseph anything about her.

WOW, you guys!! You are surrounded by amazing people. BriAnne had a baby in March that had so many complications he only lived 3 days. (and that was thanks to machines) She had many amazing people help and remember them, but nothing like this. How wonderful to have so many people remembering your sweet little angel in such a huge way. Not only at her school, but church. Love the pink ties and bows. That must have been AMAZING!!
