Our sweet Oliver Ellis was named after Brandon’s grandpa Ellis Wilson, his maternal grandpa. Brandon has always talked so highly of him and through the years I’ve known him (especially after our visit last year to Oregon), I can see what a kind, wonderful man he is.

Ellis and Millie visited Utah last weekend. Oliver Ellis won’t remember their visit I’m sure, but we will. The very first night we got together, Oliver sat so contently in Ellis’ arms for a good while. That rarely happens these days, so it was sweet to see them have a connection already.
