Lia's 7th Birthday

Lia wasn't feeling very good in this picture, if you can't tell. But she was a good sport for the picture.
The one thing Lia asked for for her birthday when I asked her a month ago was overalls. I had to search high and low but I finally found some. And I have to say she looks cute in them. (She also ended up asking for roller blades which she loves and is quite good at.)

Lia had an interesting birthday this year. She got sick the night before and we had to change our plans. Needless to say she was really disappointed. But, it ended up being a fun day anyway. I got to spend the whole day with her without having to worry about being anywhere or getting anything done and she got to celebrate for three days instead of one. We had the family party the next night and her party with her friends the day after that. Lia is such a good girl and we are so grateful to have her. It sounds so trite but it really does seem like yesterday that we were celebrating her first birthday, right after we moved into this house. Being the first, Lia has had to learn and grow with us. I hope she'll forgive us for that. She is incredibly forgiving and understanding and always tries to make us feel good. We love you, Lia. Thanks for being you.
