Birthday Princess

Michelle had a wonderful birthday. She had a party at school with her friends, then dinner at her favorite Chinese restaurant and another party at home with us. She had so much fun. We love seeing our princess so happy.

Happy Birthday Michelle!

It's hard to believe that my "baby" is three today. Where is the time going? It seems like just yesterday she was a tiny baby who could only walk if we were holding her hands. How did she suddenly become such a big girl? She's grown and changed so much in the past year and a half. Below I've posted a recent picture and a picture from a year and a half ago to show how much she's grown.

As always on her birthday I have to stop for a moment and think of Michelle's birthmother. I always wonder if she's thinking about Michelle and wondering where she is. I wonder if she could ever have imagined that her little girl would be living in America and have a family who absolutely adores her. I always say a special prayer for her.
