February is one of my favorite months. By now I am done with trying to make an unrealistic resolution list and have finally settled on 2 things to focus on! February means a break from months of football, Valentine's Day, cool but not cold weather, and Helena's birthday! Tomorrow is her 5th birthday. I go back 5 years ago this night and remember the excitement and anticipation. We scheduled an induction so we knew we would meet our little girl the next day. Her labor was a breeze, but her actual birth was a little bumpy. All of the chaos disappeared quickly when she made it safely into our arms. We are truly blessed with this beautiful little girl. I love her personality, her strength, her sense of humor, and her compassion for others.
I can't wait to wake her up tomorrow and share her special day. Cinnamon rolls are on the birthday breakfast menu! Date with Dad falls on her birthday this year and her party this weekend. The past week was chaotic with finishing up a mini-kitchen remodel, birthday parties, soccer and lots of running for our marathon training (ONE MONTH away), but all I can think about is my girl.
