Happy Third Birthday!!!!

We celebrate Calla's 3rd birthday this weekend and I can't help but reflect on how she started out her life. Calla was born 10 weeks before her due date at 6:08 pm on April 15, 2008, weighing in at a whole 3lbs 2oz (birthday). She was so small but a fighter from the beginning. She spent 5 weeks in the NICU in Eugene, OR and came home weighing in at a whopping 4lbs 11oz and 5 weeks before her actually due date. Scott and I will never forget the many people that touched our lives during that time, it was amazing, and still is. Calla has filled our lives with endless joy since that first moment three years ago (and a few moments of frustration). Here are a few pictures of her on her first few birthdays.

And last weekend sitting in a tree. She has become quite the little adventurer. What a BLAST! I can't wait to see what the next year holds. More adventures with little sister in tow, lots of fun (a few moments of frustration) and lots of love! Thanks for the ride Calla, we love you soo much!
