A quick update.....I had Ella's blood drawn again today as a follow up and thankfully her hemoglobin is maintaining. (It was 10.7 and normal is 11). Her platelets are still quite low (37,000) but that is kind of the norm for her. But she is full of energy and getting into all kinds of mischief just like we want. I think she actually transitioned from the chair to the table while standing tonight (while I worked on my cards).
Just as I do for Halloween, I have taken a professional photo of the girls every year at Christmas. I thought it would be fun to post them all so you can see how they have grown.

How good are you? Diligently taking pictures every year at the holidays?? Does it count that I buy a frame every year thinking that the Christmas pic from 'that' year will go in it? Needless to say, I have 3 empty frames on my mantel as we speak?!?!
Such beauties those three girls of yours, absolute beauties!!
You have such beautiful girls!
BTW -- Ella is wearing the red snowflake shirt from Kohl's that I was talking about =)
Sigh...your girls are absolutely beautiful! So happy to hear that Ella is doing well and is back to herself! Such a wonderful gift! Happy Holidays!
I was about to check on you to make sure everything was ok. Those pics are so cute.
I read something interesting the other day. I picked up this book called Babies with Down Syndrome at Barnes and Noble. I started to read it after Jax but felt it was quite depressing. While I was scanning it it said that most kids that have transient luekemia, it just goes away after a while and most don't turn into luekemia. Have you heard that?
I loved looking at these pictures of your beautiful girls! Too funny that we did similar posts today! I guess great minds think alike!
I'm glad Ella is feeling good and getting into mischief! I hope you have a great Christmas!
So glad Ella is doing better! You did better than me this year. I never got to the Christmas cards. Not even a picture. I told someone I may just pose them after Christmas so I can have a picture. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!
Such cutie pies!
CUTE pictures! Merry Christmas my dear friend! xoxo
AWWWW, I love seeing them grow! They are beautiful. Emma in 2001 looks a lot like Ella. Or Ella looks a lot like Emma in 2001! You get it!!!
Merry Christmas Friend!!!
Such fun pictures and fun to see them progress year to year. You sound like me only you have updated your blog better than me - I finally changed my background yesterday and my husband keeps pestering me about doing a post - but so much to do - so little time. I mailed my cards Monday as well so hopefully it will make it before Christmas! Have a very Merry Christmas!
OK, I really need to do more professional pictures. We've only had one set done since we got Max!! and it was only the kids. My New Year's resolution is to get a family photo before he turns one!!
Love all the cute matching outfits (and cute kiddos of course) :)
Wow such beautiful beautiful pictures you are so organised I can't believe it, you'll be so thankful later when they are big for having things this way. The girls are so pretty and you can see how they change with each year. Naturally Ella's entry has made the pictures complete! Have a wonderful happy Christmas, and big hugs.
Such beautiful girls! You are blessed. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!
