This week, Ella Mae became an cross-country traveler! We jet-set to California to surprise grandma and grandpa for Martha’s birthday! She earned herself a pair of wings and a “first flight” certificate from the airline crew. While there, Ella showed off her fabulous strength and charming smiles. She even met her cousin Elise, auntie Anna and uncle Isaac!
