This week has been full of celebrating my daughters 5th birthday!  She is my baby girl and the amazing little sparkle in my life.  I know one day she will know how much she means to me and how much I love her.  She is a little one that well we never thought we could have and one that well I have protected and loved from the moment I found out about her.  She is just so precious to me and I just can’t believe that she is growing up so fast.  She is just so cute to watch with all her little friends.  I love how she met each one with a hug and just loved on each one like they were each so special to her.  I didn’t have to teach her that she just knows that each person is special and that she loves each one for their own things and I just love that.  She is just so sweet and her smile and laugh just lights up a room.  
It was so fun this week to have her birthday party which she wanted to go bowling with her little friends.  They got to have cake and an ice cream sunday bar too.  It was such a fun day.  After that we took her to a mall and they had a few guys playing music for the mall and well she was in her new princess Belle dress outfit and she started to dance for everyone in the mall.  It was just precious.  Then after a bit we took her to Godiva to get a chocolate dipped strawberry.  We all know girls love the good stuff and to be spoiled on their birthday’s.  
Then on her actual birthday we took her out to get her hair done, to dinner where she got ice cream and they sang to her happy birthday in Italian, and we then went to Build-a-Bear.  Then we took her to a little candy shop to get a fun-dip (or lick-m-aid) as some of us remember them as.  Then she talked her daddy into going to Godivia’s for more chocolate strawberries.  
It was a wonderful and perfect way to have a week full of celebrating her birthday!

Woman who lost foot in Boston terror attack says she will dance again

BOSTON — 
Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who grew up in Issaquah, is still in a Boston hospital, but she has an amazing attitude about the terrible explosion that ripped her life apart.

“I remember everything,” Haslet-Davis said from her hospital bed.

She was with her husband, Air Force Capt. Adam Davis, who was just back from Afghanistan.

“I remember the first bomb going off, and holding on to Adam, my husband, and thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s never just one,'” Haslet-Davis said.

Haslet-Davis graduated in 1998 from Issaquah High School. The couple live in Boston now.

Last Monday was her day off from her job as a dance instructor. The couple were at the finish line to watch the end of the Boston Marathon.

“I started screaming, ‘Oh no, oh no,” and then the second bomb went off and it went off directly in front of us,” Haslet-Davis said.

Both she and her husband were hit.

“I remember falling backwards, because of the impact, and falling into sort of a pretzel, and then up with Adam and waking up, and thinking I was going to be OK, because I didn’t feel any pain,” Haslet-Davis said.

In the mayhem, Davis used his belt to form a tourniquet to stop his wife’s bleeding. But the blast destroyed nearly every bone and muscle in her left ankle and foot, and both had to be amputated.

Haslet-Davis, who is a dancer, insisted that the injury won’t stop her from dancing again. In fact, she said she plans to run the Boston Marathon next year.
