Happy Second Birthday, Phoebe!

[Phoebe's Mom]

Its true...my baby turns two today!  I find I am doing the same thing on Phoebe's birthdays as I do on my children's which is to tell her about how she arrived here and all about her first day.  She sits and listens to me drone on about how excited we were to get her, the rare ice storm that hit Arkansas that delayed her arrival and the look of wonder on my oldest's face as she strutted out of her crate.

Phoebe's first birthday marked the start of a truly terrible year for us--on her birthday, my car was broken into and my purse stolen and then two days later my husband lost the job we moved to MN for and he still has not found another one as we enter 2011-- but she is the absolute BEST thing to happen to this family.  I know I could not have kept my sanity --okay, for my friends and family who really know me that might be debatable--without her precious face looking up at me, her silly antics making me laugh through my tears and those long walks I would never have taken to clear my head without her. Happy Birthday, angel puppy!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Phoebe.    We are looking forward to a nice long walk after lunch an our gift giving/party tonight once the children are finished with all their homework!  We are also praying for a better 2011 so tha I can get off of these job boards, my husband can slow down the networking and we can return to some normalcy!!!  thanks again!

Happy Birthday, Phoebe!  You're such a great Doodle girl.  I love how you've been there to "cheer up your Mom".  Fingers and paws here are all crossed that 2011 will be a much better year for your family.

Happy Birthday to Phoebe - she shares her  b-day with my DH!  I just want you to know that I have walked in your shoes over the job loss.  We had moved to another state, started a whole new life there and then bam - no job.  It was a devastating time but I learned so much from that experience.  Please keep the faith that your DH will find something soon, we will say a prayer for you!!!!!  Wishing Phoebe a wonderful birthday and a wonderful new year to your family.
