The Birthday Girl Is 6!

Its so hard to believe that our baby girl is 6 years old! For me it really does seem like yesterday that we brought her home from Primary Childrens Hospital after her open heart surgery and our stay there for a month. Those are days I wish to never repeat or relive again. Each day I am grateful for modern day medicine and gifted and talented surgeons. I know that if Karmindy had been born even 15 years ago she wouldn't be here with our family today. Each day is a gift with both Kaleb and Karmindy and being their mom has been such a blessing to me in my life. Both of them are so different, yet so similar. They both bring so much love, laughter and joy into our household. I am truly a blessed woman!

On the day of Karmindy's birthday, life went about pretty normally. We had our usual morning routine of getting both the kids ready and off to school. After the kids got home from school, we hurried to open presents from Mom & Dad, Kaleb, Grandpa & Nanna D and GBob and Gma Laurie. Karmindy got extremely spoiled by everyone. She received money, Frozen dolls, new dresses, a Fabric doll and a friendship bracelet kit. What a spoiled little lady!

After presents were opened, we had to hurry and get ready to attend Kaleb's Spring Piano Recital that evening. After the piano recital, we headed to dinner at Chili's. Chili's was Karmindy's choice and she was so excited. We learned later why she wanted to go to Chili's and it was because, "They sing to you and bring you yummy icecream!" I think our little lady sure enjoys having lots of attention! Karmindy seemed to have a nice day and we hope we made it nice for her. Since her birthday fell in the middle of the week, we decided to throw her birthday party on the weekend so we would have more time to celebrate. We love you Karmindy! You bring so much joy and laughter into our home. You have an amazing little spirit and keep us laughing with your quick humor and loving nature. We love you sweet heart!
