Happy 3rd Birthday Ravenna Kelly Mei




Ravenna is three. Time sure does go by fast. Everyone always tell me that, but once you have children it really does. Ravenna was born in Xuwen, Guandong Province of southern China. Stephan & I often wonder how her birth mother could make such a choice. Ravenna was wrapped in old blue clothes, placed at the base of a telephone pole which was near the entrance to the town market place. We hope she made the choice knowing her decision would bring her daughter a brighter future than the one she could offer. So this is the role we as her parents will try to fill. Because of these decisions made thousands of miles away three years ago, we have our beautiful, fun, sassy, entertaining, loving, sweet, shy Ravenna Kelly Mei. How lucky we are.
Thanks to all who have given her birthday wishes, presents & attended her party here in Whitefish. We are so lucky for such wonderful friends & family!
On a side note. Ravenna's cute party invitation was done by my cousin in law Stephanie. She does fabulous, fun work, perfect for every occasion. If anyone would like her contact info ask me via comments on the blog.
