Scenes from a birthday

That's right, people, we have a 3-year-old! After a whirlwind month, we took a breath and celebrated S's birthday. Grania and Maw came up from Pennsylvania, and we had a nice, low-key party.

Checking out her slice of cake, which she decorated herself

She wanted to ride her bike RIGHT NOW. In 36-degree weather *sigh*

Trying to figure out what's in all her gift bags
 

She loved her Pooh books from Grania
 

Playing teacher. Which after all runs in the family
 
Welcome to 3, S!

Three years ago today

...I was in a time-suck meeting and couldn't be reached by our adoption agency. Yet J answered the call on the first ring. In a few minutes we'll celebrate 3 years since we got The Call that S was our daughter. This weekend we celebrated her birthday in style.

More to come...
