Views from Ellie's Day

3 dancing rubber duckies and the rubber ducky song make bathtime a happy time. In case you were wondering, it takes at least 8 choruses to get through a complete bath.


Sometimes a lunch break nap is irresistible.


A bit of crying and a lot of looking. Those smiles and silly faces are my most favorite part of our day.

Ellie has arrived!

Ellie Ruth Hodges was born this past Wednesday at 4:29 in the afternoon.

She weighed in at a Hodges-like 9 lbs-3 oz, and measured 22 inches long.







Glory to God for little Ellie. He showed his power in a new way this week.

For all things Hodges ...

This will be the place.
