Well, I can't believe it: FIVE years ago we brought Juliana into our world. And boy did she change it!!

This is the first year that she seems to really care about her birthday and it is so cute (when she isn't making her sibs nuts). She is marking up catalogues--"I'm getting this and this and this and I don't want this (an X thru it...)"

She is doing so well in school and is making friends and is so happy. It doesn't seem to matter so much that her arm doesn't look so great, she truly has transcended her arm.

I used to say that in my mind's eye I saw this HUGE arm attached to this little child. And that I couldn't wait for the day that I saw a child, in perspective. I can say that I do!

I am so happy for her today. I made a banner on the computer, we are having her party at the children's museum next week...she will have cake for a week!!!!!

She is a fabulous kid and I am so proud to call her mine.

Hi Claudia!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIANA!!!!!!!! I was just looking at old videos and came upon our girls being splinted in Texas! She is such a sweetie. I can't believe how time has flown. I am so proud of her. I know exactly what you mean when you say she has transcended her arm. We went to my niece's birthday party this weekend and Amanda was running around leading the rest of the kids - no one even notices her arm.

Have a great day and hopefully I'll talk with you guys soon!
love,
Rachel

Happy Birthday Juliana!!! I wish I could have cake for a week! Sounds like she sure knows what she wants and doesn't want - and makes it easier on buying her presents:) I hope that she has a great party and lots of fun being five! It's such a fun age isn't it?
Love,
Christy

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Julianna!!!
Have a parade to celebrate too, besides a party which I just know you are having today. Celebrate too, MOM, in a special way. You deserve it!
