Let's just say ... we know how to party! With a little help from Mimi and Aunt Piki and my good friend Dawn, Claira's party was beautiful. Our friends Barry and Tracy Reynolds went out of their way to make our friends and family feel welcome. Claira's sisters and cousins were thrilled with the pony rides. Maybe it was a little over the top for a 1st birthday party ... but Claira's 1st year was a little over the top as well! She's growing and happy. She's become "Her Royal Roundness" to all of us.
Many families have suffered far greater hardships (and continue to do so). We remain grateful for her health and the wonderful medical care, support and prayers she received. Many of you know that I'm studying to be a registered nurse ... with hopes that I can give back to other families in the future.

I've been reading the last few entries and just sobbing. I remember feeling her Grandma Cookies presence so strong the day of her surgery.
One of my good friends has a niece with almost identical issues and she went in for her surgery Thursday. It was a weird feeling to be on the 'strangers' end and to feel a true desire for that baby I have never met to pull through and I said a prayer for her so I can see how things come full circle in life sometimes. Like you becoming a nurse...you'll be a great one!
It looks like you had a great time. Sorry we missed it(football ya know). I did not know you were studying to be a nurse. Yeah for you! Your kiddo's are all so cute and you are as georgeous as ever!
Best wishes!
Yea! She made it! And I think an over the top birthday bash is just the thing to celebrate. I wish I had been there.
Love you all!
It was a great party and a great weekend!
What a special, beautiful girl:)
