Happy Birthday Arianna!

Arianna turned 9 on March 9! Time just flies by! She has been such a joy and blessing to our family. I remember, like it was yesterday, her lying in the hospital bassinet peacefully staring at us. She was so content. She still is. We love you dearly Arianna.

we had a party for her on Saturday

Happy Birthday Pookie!!!! I remember like yesterday, being in the kitchen in Shedden when dad called us, bragging that he was one of the first people to get to see her. :-)
Love you girl!
