Happy Birthday Josephine!!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 5 years old today!

She's come a long ways from this tiny baby we first saw in this photo in July 2007:

...to this first trip to visit her in Port-au-Prince in Feb/Mar 2008:

...to this second trip to visit her in July 2008:

...to this third trip to visit her in March 2009:

... to finally having her in our arms in Sanford, FL, ready to come home to Iowa, in January 2010:

... to her 3rd birthday:

...to her 4th birthday:

...to last night, "helping me" by cleaning the frosting off the silverware when I was done frosting her cupcakes:

We can't imagine our lives without our beautiful, funny, silly, smart, sweet little girl - who is growing up SO FAST!!!

We love you, Josephine! We hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Wow. Five already. It was a long journey. Jasmine went on our first trip May 07 and her passport expires in a couple weeks!
