Lauren's 3rd Birthday!

3 years ago today, our sweet Lauren was born. Last year we were just back from China and still in a fog when we celebrated her 2nd birthday. This year we were able to take in every minute and we had soo much fun! We started the day by heading to the Children's Museum. This place is just amazing. It's an old school they remodeled into three stories of crazy fun for kids. Afterward we headed home and I baked her cake while the party girl rested. Then we had her favorite meal and sang "Happy Birthday" three times, each time with blowing out the candles of course. :)

There is never enough time to say all I would like to. Even as I type Lauren is inspecting the desk drawer next to me and has just discovered where I keep the stamp ink. It's all just wonderful.

I take in every second of my time with this amazing girl that has been placed in our life. I don't take a second for granted. Her smile, the smell of her hair, her sweet voice, her tender heart, She is just incredible.

We are having her birthday party with friends and family Saturday and I will post more pic's then. But for now, here is a album I put together and a short clip of her grocery shopping. We figured she was 3 now, it was time she started getting out on her own! hehe..
