Post 89: Party Day

Today, we relaxed, and celebrated Ella’s third birthday. Ella is Kelsye and Derek’s oldest daughter, and she and her sister Zoey are the newest members of our family. Their adoption is not yet finalized, but hopefully will be completed soon. We left the house at 7AM, and arrived at Fort Imagination with moments to spare. The party was perfect for the little princess. There was even a special guest appearance from Rapunzel! Julie had a blast, and loved meeting all of Mama and Dada’s friends...and Rapunzel! 

After the party, we headed to Tascha and Jeff’s house, where three of the girls took naps, while the grown ups talked. It was such a nice day. I miss my friends, and I love that we pick right back up where we left off. We’ve all grown and changed over the past ten years, but our friendship has continued. Beteeen Tascha, Kelsye, and myself, we have five girls ages 15-36 months - two natural, two adopted, and one IVF. It’s a beautiful story, and each is special. Mindy was with us today, too! I think our girls were plenty of birth control for her, but I also see her having a houseful of kids when she’s ready. 

We finally got to exchange Christmas and birthday gifts, then we headed to Nanny and Poppy’s house for dinner. We’re heading home now, and should be back in time for medicine. That’s what life revolves around now - shots. I’m so glad we got this little break today. It was much needed, and we’ll see each other again soon!
