Happy Birthday Crystina!!

Today our baby girl is 2! She is such a big girl but yet such a baby. We will be celebrating with lots of family and friends at a nearby park this afternoon and we are so excited! We have been singing "Happy Birthday" to her during the week, so she won't get shy when the times comes, and she loves it...she even pretends to blow out the candle when we are done singing.....TOO CUTE!!

Today is bittersweet, in the sense that...WE are here celebrating Crystina's birthday and enjoying EVERY minute of it but yet there is this beautiful woman on the other side of the world probably wondering how her little girl is doing on this special day. 2 years ago today this woman gave birth to OUR (hers and ours) daughter and then she gave the ultimate sacrifice. I have been thinking alot of Crystina's birthmother recently...I don't know if it's because Crystina's birthday was quickly approaching or just recently giving birth and not knowing how she (Crystina's birthmother) did it. I know I will NEVER know why but I am SO eternally grateful!! I just hope and pray that GOD lets her heart know that our daughter is SO loved and well taken care of, that she is full of life and is SO happy, she makes us laugh every day. We will always provide for her, always! And may GOD give Crystina's birthmother the comfort she may need to get through this day.

I will post pictures of the birthday party soon. So check back. GOD bless!
