Today is Nora’s 3rd birthday! How happy we are that we are three years down the road from where we started on this journey with a strong, happy and healthy Nora.
We’re having a little birthday celebration this afternoon at Nora’s favorite park so I’ll be sure to post some pictures of her party later. But for now here are some of the big birthday girl this morning dancing it up in dress up clothes from cousin Marin. Thank you cousin Marin for making Nora such special birthday decorations, having them here makes the day extra special. 🙂
We took Nora to Toys-R-Us over the weekend for her to pick out a few toys as an extra birthday treat. Our girl is a natural shopper. 🙂
She was quite in awe when we got to the aisle with all of the talking puppy pets.
Look at the smile on her Daddy’s face in the background. That’s one happy, proud Dad. 🙂
Happy Birthday sweet Nora, we love you so much!!
(If you looked at Nora’s site on her actual birthday yesterday, this really didn’t get posted until 4/28, even though I wrote it yesterday morning, couldn’t get it to post until now)
Thank you for sharing these three years of Nora’s life with the world. When Blaise was born, we thought she had only 10-12 cm of jejunum and we drew a huge amount of inspiration from reading about Nora. Thank you for the hope you gave us.
And, of course,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORA!
Miss Nora
