“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Eleven







Yesterday was Helena's 11th birthday!

 
 


There was a cake, some unicorns and a baby llama.



We went to Barnes & Noble for a while then we came home, watched Jumanji, & had spaghetti.

I'm very proud of this girl..she's helpful, encouraging and a bit stubborn..
We had a difficult time for a while, for various reasons,
and throughout it all she has been tirelessly bright and positive.




 Happy Birthday Helena!
May this year be absolutely magical for you.
Thank you for never letting me give up.

(2 years old)
