Day 230

Birthday cupcakes in T.'s classroom this afternoon. She couldn't stop talking about it, but when it actually happened, she wouldn't smile and spent most of the time trying to get one of us to pick her up and keep her out of it all. I had fun anyway and the kids all liked (including her!) the Buzz Lightyear cupcakes and plates. =) Tomorrow is the big event!!

Day 229

My little model - how this face grows day to day, month to month and year to year and these are the eyes that can see right into my heart.

Day 228

The kids are upstairs working on some "secret" project because someone they love is about to have a birthday. In between turns on the "secret" project, they were wildly running around the house. I caught this shot of Dad trying to tone down the excitement, or maybe he was ramping it up, I'm not so sure...

Day 227

I have been a busy bee - preparing for a certain someone's 4th birthday - or should I say 1st birthday, but celebrating her 4th year. Last year, this time was so hard, so unbelievably hard, to know that she was without her foster family and without her forever family. That my birthday twin was going to be by herself, that my birthday wish to be together would not happen. This year has brought SO much happiness, is SO different, I can't help but get caught up in it. It is everything I wanted coming true. So - here is Buzz, getting ready for a classroom cupcake celebration that she has been counting the days to, me too!

Day 225

On our way to little Sarah's 3rd birthday, the girls decided they wanted to match so they have on tshirts and matching shorts. So sweet - had to snap a photo before we jumped in the car. Its so wonderful that these kisses just take a little prompt - and not even that without the camera! Telling you, I am truly lucky!

Day 224

We went to a birthday party at the girls' gym. The best part was all of the kids jumping into the big foam block pit and climbing through the blocks.
