Can you believe it?!
Today, 3 years ago, at 7:55am, a squirming little baby was laid on my belly, and I was shedding tears of joy as Pete said, "I was right! It's a girl!" Our lives were forever changed in that magical moment.
Such a journey of grace and provision God has led us on in the years since. We have a perfectly healthy and rapidly growing little girl who continues to delight us with her wit and humor, her love and innocence.
Just this week as I was talking to Pete (in code) about something and spelled a word in the middle of my sentence, her reply was to counter what I said with an "E-I-E-I-O" thrown in the middle! HA HA! Isn't she a hoot?! :o)
Since the holidays are jammed full of get-togethers and it was stimulation overload in past years, we celebrated her 1/2 birthday in early July with our family and friends. However, we hoped we'd be able to set aside some time, when it was just us, on her real birthday to have a special dinner, cake and to open our gift for her. And so that is what we did tonight.
Pizza topped with black olives (a woman after my own heart!), a butterfly cake, and a Mr. Potato Head family set later...she's a happy girl!
Enjoy the pictures!
White cake with strawberry buttercream filling and chocolate butterflies.

Nope, can't believe she has gotten that big that fast! Happy Birthday sweet girl!
your cake looks fabulous! happy birthday to your little sweetie.
The time goes by so quickly, doesn't it? Each year is so much fun, but it's always bittersweet to watch your children grow up. Luckily, you have another little one now to satisfy that baby urge!
Happy birthday Natalia!
No, I can't believe it at all!
