It’s hard to believe that six years have gone by since Haven was born. Although Parker gets most of our attention these days, she is still a very special part of our family. Parker is mesmerized by her photos that flash across the computer screen as our screen saver. It probably won’t be long before he’s saying “Haven.”

To celebrate her birthday, we got six pink carnations in memory of six years.

We also read her scrapbook/life story with Parker. He has a lot of favorite books and I’m sure this will soon be one of them!

We’re posting this picture of Haven’s fifth birthday celebration… a year late. With Parker just a few weeks old at the time, I guess we have a decent excuse!

Having just moved in to a new, stove-less house with a newborn baby, we celebrated like any semi-reasonable family would… microwave chocolate brownie cake! It’s a long cry from our pie and ice cream days in the ICU, but I think she would still be honored. 🙂
