Today is #3.5's 14th birthday!

She loves giraffes. …

Seriously.. this is her with her giraffe in the backpack while she vacuums.

She makes us laugh all the time. (see the giraffe nails)

Before #3.5 was a 3.5 she was one of my girl scouts. I've known her since she was 8.  One time during a Girl Scout meeting, she was holding my hand and she looked up at me and said: "One day I'm going to live with you."  I laughed and said: "Maybe".. but I never thought it would really happen.  A chain of people making dumb decisions lead up to her living with us temporarily, and then one judge made a great decision and she lives with us permanently.  We LOVE HER beyond belief.

Happy Birthday 3.5! We love you and are so glad we are yours and you are ours!

** You may have noticed that yesterday was #3's 14th birthday.  They are 16 hours apart.  Pretty cool huh?
