Today is my precious LeeLee's birthday. Yesterday as she lay in my bed between Paul and I, I said, "LeeLee, tomorrow is your birthday." She looked up and said, "I know, it's a shame." She was serious. It really is a shame that her birthday falls in the middle of mass chaos at our house. Not only are we dealing with the loss of her uncle, but Paul also has his grand opening of his new business on Monday, we have five people in town that we need to entertain, and she has been sick. So, I will save her pictures from today and post them tomorrow, because I am still working hard at making today special for her.
In the meantime, I thought I would post this picture of her from her very first birthday. I remember how blessed I felt that she was home for us to celebrate. When she got her sweet little cake, she used her fingers to pinch out the fire on the candle. There were lots of tears. I should have seen it as a sign then that I had a firecracker on my hands. But it wasn't until months later that we realized the full personality of the precious little girl we had adopted. She is something else.....find out about her birthday tomorrow.

She is so beautiful! Happy Birthday! My Eva put her fingers on a candle too. I don't think she's done it since.
