A day to celebrate. - Aria MacDonald

A day to celebrate.

Yesterday was a great day, a time to celebrate the amazing first year of our incredible wee girl.

The good people at Starship let us go home for about eight hours enough time for us to get together with the extended family for a time to celebrate Aria’s life. Aria had great fun spending time with all her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. She also seemed to love opening all her presents, sitting on mum’s lap and ripping open all the wrapping paper.

Aria also had a special gift for us, she has beaten her temperature, her teething seems to have finally taken a break and the lovely, funny, sweet girl that we all know and love is back with a vengeance. She is so happy and energetic, she is staying awake from 8am to 9pm full of energy and smiles. While this can be hard work for mum and dad, she makes every moment one of joy and happiness for both of us. Hopefully we will have the little ball of energy back at home on Wednesday, YAY!!!!

We would take one more opportunity to say thanks to everyone for their generosity and support for Aria’s first year of life you have all helped make it special for her and for us. Hopefully as you continue to support, love and pray for Aria we will see many, many more birthdays for Aria.

Lastly we would like to thank God who has been very good to us, giving us a beautiful girl and an incredible journey to go on. We know that as he has been faithful to us in the past year and he will continue to be faithful to us in the future.

P.S. Hopefully we will have some photos of the special day in Aria’s photo album soon, we will let you know when they are up.

    Hello there,

    I am so happy to find another Aria (not a common name in the US). Our Aria is 9 years old, she is our first, born in 1998. Your Aria is beautiful. I am sorry to read of her struggles: we will pray for you all and hope to read of good news in your future. Blessings,

    Debbie (and Aria) Tornabene, USA
