Happy 3rd Birthday Miracle Girl!

Our Little Miss officially turned the big THREE today! We recognize how blessed we are to have our sweet "Miracle Girl" and have no doubt that God has amazing plans in store for her. In some ways it seems like just yesterday that she was our teeny, tiny 2.5 pound baby. In reality, our "baby" has turned into a little girl.

We celebrated this past weekend with a party for family (including all of our "adopted" family members) in the area. She had a terrific time with everyone and only wishes her birthday could last longer. Little Miss looked adorable in the darling flower dress that our friend Joani made for her. Thanks Joani!

I'd like to say that I made her spectacular birthday cake but you are far too smart to fall for that bluff dear Readers! In truth, a friend from college (Jessica @ Jessicakes) honored us with the incredible garden-themed cake. You can read more about her creation here. It's extra special because Jessica is also the infamous photographer behind the first pictures of the Little Miss when she was just a few days old. Thanks Jessica!

Our teeny, tiny preemie has officially grown into a healthy, thriving, amazing little girl. Thank you Jesus!!!
