It seems like yesterday, but so far away, at the same time.
It took 8 months - 1 week of constant nausea, endless vomiting, and back aching pregnancy.
Plus, 30 hours of labor to meet this sweet, beautiful girl....

9-3-08
So much has happened and changed since that day. A single moment completely changed our world. Our first child arrived prematurely and with more life-changing news than we could have ever imagined. This tiny, but somehow still very chunky, princess has given us a whole new look at life. And today we celebrate her as she continues to bless us on the 6th year of her life.
Happy birthday, my beautiful daughter.
I love you more than words can say.
A glimpse of the party....
Her first look at the party setup....
AND...wardrobe change! A princess must dress for the occasion.
No artificial dye at a party is ridiculous, boring, stupid, impossible tough. But we made it work. Sadly, her cake didn't quite go as hoped...but who cares when you get cake?!?! She had 4 pieces. :)
I didn't get close ups...but the food labels were adorable, if I do say so myself. The one on the punch said "SnowCap Punch", another "It's crazy, we finish each others SANDWICHES", "Melted Olaf" for the yogurt and "Olaf in Summer" floating in the jello, which was supposed to be blue! And the cheese sticks had Olaf faces on the outside.
Showing off Olaf.
Really getting into it!
Love his face.
