Today Olivia turned 3! She's been talking about her birthday for weeks. Almost every day she asked if it was her birthday. I thought a lot about her birthmother and how she must be thinking of her. We had a family only birthday party and I'm glad it was just us because it turned out that she's been sick with a stomach virus. She felt much better by the time the party rolled around but went downhill shortly after. The funniest thing is that when we ask her now how old she is she says "I 6". She INSISTS that she is six now!
I have to admit that shopping for her gifts was very emotional. The whole time I was in the store I was choking back tears. I literally had to give myself a little talk to make sure I didn't just break down and start bawling! I'm so thankful for my little girl. We are so very blessed to have her in our family. To celebrate her life is so special!
