A truly Happy Birthday for Marley Rae!

We got a call from the neurosurgeon's nurse practioner at 8am this morning. All of Marley's MRI & CT scan images were clear! We were so relieved and excited. What a fantastic way to start off her 2nd birthday. We also got her Certificate of Citizenship in the mail today, so that was kind of a neat thing to receive on her birthday. We had a yummy dinner of orange chicken, fried rice, and shu mai dumplings, followed by cheesecake. A few pics . . .

I bought this hat a couple of years ago and I've been insisting that everyone in the family has to wear it on their birthday. I love Marley's look, kind of like "Are you kidding me?"

Happy Birthday Marley!! I can't believe how much she has changed in just the short time it's been since we saw her in China! Isn't it amazing! - Jill (with Carys)
