Yes...my little girl is growing up. I cannot believe Miss J is now 3 years old!!! I was remembering last night about going to the hospital 3 years ago and walking around the halls for hours and hours and then getting something to relax me so we could sleep a few hours...and it wasn't until 3:34pm today that she was born. Only after about 15 minutes of pushing too...whew. But the long drawn out pre-labor stuff what what wore me out.
So, Happy Birthday my favorite little girl! Cannot believe how grown up you are and how much fun you have become.
She brought in rice crispy treats and some fruit pops for her friends at school (what an ordeal trying to find something, mainly cupcakes, that are made without peanuts and in a peanut free environment...ugh...so we opted for something else).
Tonight we will open some presents/cards, have a birthday dinner, and maybe a cupcake.
Then, Monday, we will celebrate with her Elephant Circus party!!! Too fun!!
Our dog, Bella's, birthday was on Wednesday...so we celebrated by putting candles on a pound cake and singing to her...I don't think she really got what we were doing...but she liked the cake!!
Bella has been a little off since we had to put Star (our cat) down. I think she knows something isn't right, and wonders why that little furry thing that she used to chase around the house and used to taunt her during the day while she is in her house, is no longer here...hmmm.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, putting Star down. I know it was the right thing to do. I got confirmation of that from my mom, and the doctor, and others. At least I know where she is going, unlike taking her to a shelter where I wouldn't know if someone would ever adopt her or love her like we did, or if they would end up putting her down anyway...so at least I know where she is, and will put the ashes right up on the book shelf with my dad, my FIL, and my grandma (haaa...a little morbid shrine!). I miss her, and still think I hear her in the cat box now and again, or hear something in the house and think it is her. They gave us a paw print casting of her so we could decorate it. Miss J and I enjoyed doing that...and then we will put a ribbon through it and maybe hang it somewhere in memory.
Miss J still thinks she is coming home...and she keeps saying, "when kitty comes home, we will show her the paw print we made and she will be so happy..." I keep telling her that kitty is home, with Jesus and Papa, up in heaven. She kind of gets it, but still thinks she is coming home. It is fading a bit though.
So...life is good, busy, but good. Will post pics of B-days soon.

I have been thinking about you - I knew Miss J's b-day was soon, but wasn't sure exactly when! Happy Birthday to her! I have been praying for your strenght with the kitty. Happy for a update!
Can't believe she is three already!! Looking forward to seeing pics of her party. Have fun!
Happy (now late) birthday to Miss J! I can't believe she is three either! I remember us being pregnant "together" and it seems like it wasn't all that long ago. The sad thing is that my little girl is going to be three soon too. *sigh* I know that when yours has a birthday, mine is not far behind. :o) I'm glad to hear it was a good day. Take care!
Happy belated birthday to Miss J! I'm so sorry to hear about Star and how it's been tough on Bella. :-(
