Life Down Under

A celebration quickly approaching

Taylor's third birthday is just around the corner, and preparations for the big day are well underway. The cake has been chosen. The cards and packages have started arriving in the mail. And one little girl is already excited about her special day.

Birthdays are truly an event in the Walsh home! So it should be; everyone needs a day once a year that's all about them. This is the first year that Taylor has really understood what it means that she is having a birthday, and it sure is fun! A few days ago we got out the pictures from when she was born, and I was telling her the stories about her very first birthday. It seems like just yesterday - but also so long ago - when we were holding this tiny new baby, totally in love but also totally unsure what to actually do with her - especially when she cried. My, how things have changed! We've learned a lot these last 3 years. Taylor has, too. And one thing's for sure: we have lots to celebrate.
