It's hard to believe, but our little Sweet Pea (Liz) is turning 3 tomorrow (June 6th)! I remember so clearly how she was 2 weeks late and had to be induced...on MY birthday, nonetheless! Yes, Liz and I share the same birthday. I have this feeling, that June 6th will be more her birthday than mine, but that is okay. She is the best birthday present EVER!! We plan on making "our" cake together tomorrow while Stephanie is at summer school. Her big birthday party will be next week, with 12 little friends attending a My Little Pony themed event! She is 
very excited to be turning 3! I just wish she could stay little forever! Happy Birthday, my beautiful girl!FAMILY UPDATE
We have been very busy (hence fewer entries)! Danielle has been our daughter for 6 1/2 months already! I can't believe how fast the time has flown. She is adjusting amazingly well. We have left her with friends a couple of times (along with her sisters), and she has done great! No tears. She is definitely getting over her separation anxiety phase (Thank God!). It truly has been hard to be with her 24/7, but as long as it has helped her to be more secure, then it is totally worth it! I have signed her up for preschool next year, and I think that it will be great. In fact, I will be working at the school as well! I am very excited. I will be an assistant teacher (I really didn't want the added responsibility of being lead) in a 3 year-old preschool class. I am really looking forward to it! Stephanie and Liz have been going to this school for 2 years, and we all love it! If I need to work, I can't think of a better place to be....at school with my kids!! I am so grateful that God has blessed us with this opportunity.
God continues to amaze us! His plan to add Danielle to our family is perfect - she is truly our daughter! She is growing bigger and stronger every day. She has the most muscular legs - everyone says she should be a gymnast. Our Naturopath was in awe of her today - the fact that she is so flexible and has no fear. I don't know if that is a good combination though :-) Her new favorite thing to do is hold hands with her sisters when we are walking. It is adorable. She calls her sister's names (or at least an approximation of them) and holds out her hand to them. Very cute! Today, she started coming up to all of us and giving us kisses...she goes from 1 person to the next giving lots of slobbery kisses! She is an angel - most of the time. Don't get me wrong, while she is a beautiful child, she does have her moments! She is getting really good at saying "no" and can be very rebellious at times (and she is not even 2 yet!). All 3 of the girls are playing quite well together (most of the time) and love having each other. We are quite content with our family just the way it is....although Stephanie has been bugging us for a little brother. For some reason she keeps asking us for a baby brother from China named Charlie. Who knows what will happen next - only God does, and hopefully he will make things clear!
Enjoy some current pictures of our family!
