~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIARA! ~

~ i can't believe she's 5, where's the time gone? ~ to think of her coming home when she did & as tiny as she was ~ just to give you an idea of how far she's come, check out these pictures ~ this' kiara when she came home from haiti & at almost 11 months old, she weighed only 12.9#! ~

~ this' her today as a big 5 years old girl! ~

~ she weighs 49.2# & is such a delight & wonderful in every way ~ she'll be starting kindergarten in the fall & absolutely can not wait! ~ she loves meeting new people, playing, 'homework' & has a grin on her face all the time ~ she's got a heart as big as the world & loves everyone ~ she talks all the time about when she gets older, she's wanting to adopt 3 brown little girls too ~ thinking she was talking about adopting from haiti, but when i asked her she stated that, "no, i'm going adopt 3 little brown girls from california!" ~ don't know where that came from as we've never even been to california, so we'll see! ~ we're going out for dinner tonight somewhere when they 'sing' to her as that's the one thing she requested is that we go somewhere where they sing & that we get cake! ~ we're throwing her a birthday party this saturday at the local bowling alley where her, her sisters, some friends & lots of cousins will be bowling & having a good 'ol time! ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIARA, WE LOVE YOU!! ~
