Happy Birthday To You!

All a birthday girl needs is her sash, crown, wand and pink boots to have a great birthday!!!



Started this tradition with our older kids when they were little. They get to pick out their favorite junk cereal for their birthday. This has been a great tradition as the kids have never bothered asking me for junk cereal during the year, but look forward to it every year on their birthday! So here is the continuation of our tradition with our little Guatemalan birthday girl!


Marissa turned 5 years old today!!!! Our sweet baby has been sick since her surgery last Thursday. Started on Friday with high fevers and asthma only to get much worse over the weekend. Last night her fever was 105 and had 6 breathing treatments at home. She went to the doctor today. She has pneumonia! Not a fun way to bring in your 5th birthday! By the looks of her pictures you would never know she is as sick as she is. She has such an incredible resilient spirit!
