Happy 7th Birthday, Helen!

She came down stairs so excited this morning and she squealed with happiness when we wished her a happy birthday!  ironically it was probably the same happiness that I experienced 7 years ago when I gave birth to her and found out that she was a GIRL!!!  I was convinced that she was a boy in my tummy.

 can you see the excitement on her face - she's so happy it's her birthday today :)
