Happy Birthday Erin

Erin and Grandma have birthdays a day apart.  We were so excited to celebrate their birthdays together.  My Dad and Sally got our traditional Dairy Queen cake for the celebration.  All growing up the only fast food we had in our town was Dairy Queen so it holds a special place in our hearts stomachs.  It was such a wonderful night.  Erin quit her nighttime bottle, just as we had practiced for the past few months.  She hasn't gone back since.  Phew!

We often refer to Erin as our "miracle".... because she is!  All of them are.  Doug and I joke that we weren't present for the conception of any of our kids.  For those who don't know, Erin's existance is thanks to invitro fertilization.  She's ours through and through... they just had to "mix" her in the lab first!!

Loves to you, our angel girl.  You are brilliant, so so sweet, kind, thoughtful, loving.... the list goes on and on.  Most importantly you fill into our lives and family in the most extraordinary way.  We love you, our dear 3 year old!
