Happy Birthday Hailey!







Hailey woke up this morning so excited to have her birthday. She put on her birthday shirt to get ready for the day. We got a call from her cousins in Sault Ste Marie which was awesome. Hailey practically ran up the stairs of the daycare and couldnt wait to tell everyone it was her birthday. We all came home early today to celebrate. Hailey requested a nutritious McDinner and enjoyed every bite. We just finished making birthday muffins and then using one as her birthday cake, she was beaming! Alex is setting up Wallie to watch tonight as a special treat.

On another note, i have been thinking all day about Hailey's poor birth mother and how she must be thinking alot about Hailey these days with this being Hailey's finding day as well. Not to mention all the holidays of Christmas and Chinese New Year so close. I wish i could reassure her that Hailey is doing great and is loved more than anyone could possibly have loved her otherwise. I am also thankful to her, because without her or her difficult decisions, we would never have had our amazing daughter.

Yay! Happy Birthday three year old! Wow, times flies. Two years ago, your mommy and daddy were celebrating your birthday on an airplane . . . China bound! So fun.

Can't wait to see you soon!

I love those pictures and your beautiful sentiments. I, too, have been thinking about birth Mom and what a difficult time of year this must be for her. If she could only know how much Hailey is loved and what a beautiful little girl Hailey is growing up to be she would be comforted.

There is much to celebrate in our Hailey and we do! We couldn't love her more.
