My heart clenches every time I see that first picture. Happy birthday Simone! I feel like it was not too long ago it was her fourth. Here’s to many more!
Oh, Alexa. I’m still reading your book for the first time and you just went home without Simone, and I know (I KNOW) she’s fine because she’s here, but seeing these pictures makes my heart soar for you.
Wow. That is so amazing. And so improbable–how, how, HOW can she be five years old!!?? Happy Birthday, Simone!
And congratulations, Alexa. Everytime I see that series of photos, I’m amazed all over again at how far you and your family have come, and how much you had to endure to get to this place.

What a little sweetie! I volunteer in a classs room with four and five year olds, and they are the most fun ever!
Happy birthday, Simone!
Even though we see just a hint of her cake, it looks delicious! Chocolate-chip cookie cake?
Happy birthday, Simone!
I remember when she was born even. I cannot believe it has been FIVE years since then.
Happy, happy birthday, Simone! May this year be the best yet. And may I just say, you have fantastic cheekbones!

Yay for Simone! I am not religious but watching her grow I want to believe in miracles. Have a wonderful year 6, Simone.
