This picture melts my heart... this moment, a year ago, is something I can't put in to words, all I can come up with is "how were we so lucky to get her?" She has brought so much joy, expanded our hearts to love in ways we never thought possible and has challenged us in ways that we never thought or expected, all for the good of course! So we decided to start a tradition of taking off work the day of her birthday, and it was a wonderful day as a family...
I forgot how amazing it was to wake up in the morning in the middle of the week and not have to frantically get myself ready, get Stella ready, get Jack outside and finally get out the door at a reasonable hour to get to work before lunchtime!! I think Stella was legitimately concerned at how excited her parents were coming into her room in the morning singing Happy Birthday! We spent the morning playing around the house and then ventured to St. Paul for lunch and an afternoon at the St. Paul Children's Museum. She LOVED it.
