WOW!!! Lots of emotions going on today. I have been thinking back to 1 year ago and it is tough. My mother in law tells me to stop doing that. I am trying but it's natural it think :) I can't believe how far we've come in 1 year. How far Libbi has come! But today is a day of celebration so i will save the 'feelings' post for later. Our plan for the day includes
1. waiting for Libbi to wake up so we can sing to her!
2. dressing her up, doing her hair and getting her all pretty!
3. decorating the house, and o my do we have lots of decorations!
4. letting Libbi do whatever the heck she wants, she's the boss today! (of course within safety limits)
5. kissing, hugging, ooooing and aaaahhhing over her ALL day!
6. singing more happy birthday songs, some of which i'm sure we will make up as we go!
7. Taking lots and lots of pictures and videos (stay tuned)
8. running around, pick up Libbi's cake, make cake for adults to eat.
9. Put her pictures in frames all over the house to display!
10. 3pm PARTY!!!!!!!! Woot Woot!
What a fun day, i can't even wait for her to wake up, maybe i should wake her? O but wait, that would conflict with #4. I guess i will be patient :)

Now on a sad side note, our little Anna(15 months) who is my brother (Chase) and his wife's (Jana) baby, and Libbi's bestest friend, is spending Libbi's birthday in the hospital. 2 weekends ago she spent a few days down at PC with an unknown virus, losing her hair, sores in her mouth and weird head stuff going on, like her head had soft spots all over and a rash. After an MRI, cat scan and some other tests, they sent her home with a diagnosis of 'unknown' or 'just a virus' well she has never really got better. Once she got home, she still threw up and had diahrea. This week she got a cough and the head symptons returned. They noticed the sores in her mouth were back, or never really went away. Jana demanded blood work be done, they are still waiting for results on some but RSV came back positive, they admitted her last night and they now think she has pnemonia. Her fever was 105 last night at the hospital. Poor family, my heart just hurts for them. Please keep them in your prayers and if any of you have ANY idea what may be going on with her, let's hear it. For now, it's still a mystery.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MISS!!! We are so sad we can't be there :( Hope she has the best birthday ever. It's funny how I have had way to much time to sit here and think. But I have thought about Libbi today and what a little inspiration she is to me. She is a reminder of the amazing blessing of good health. She has had one adventuresome year!! I love her to pieces and am so proud to be her aunt.
Happy Birthday Libbi Girl!!! We hope that you had a wonderful celebration today. We sure love that we get to share this special day with you!
Mindi... I know what you mean. I swear I have spent this whole week (and will probably continue to spend the next few months) remembering exactly where I was this time last year and reflecting on the emotions and feelings. All that I can do is rejoice that we are where we are today!! :)
Wow, one year goes fast. I am so glad that she is doing well. You have an adorable family.
These milestones are so important to us heart moms. It sounds like a perfect party for a princess. Happy Birthday Libbi!!!
