Victoria is ff-ree!

Despite the fact that Tori felt her being potty trained was the magical moment turning her ff-ree (three), today was her actual birthday.



What do I say about this precious little girl? She's been unique from the get-go. From a surprise beginning (I'll spare you the details) to a unique birth in a foreign country (click here to read about it) her uniqueness has filled these past 3 years with much joy.



Happy Birthday Victoria Amira, you are my precious baby girl and I love you dearly!


Oh and those permanent bags under my eyes are because of you!

happy birthday pretty baby! isn't it bitter sweet to have these milestones with your baby though michelle? i am holding onto andrew's 'babiness' even though he is a toddling two year old- for all it's worth.

Oh, your "bags" (not that I can actually see them) are beautiful. I say go for child #4 and add some crows feet. : )

She is absolutely beautiful! It is so cute how she looks just like you and Skyler just like Rich.

Happy Birthday Tori! (and Cole) : )

I think she looks just like Rich. Either way she is beautiful.

We are praying for the Franzenfam as we look at your faces on our card.

We have a newscaster names Michelle Franzen. Everytime she is on David says, "Michelle Franzen?!" You are way prettier than her :o)

Happy Birthday to your little beauty.

I still think she looks like me! :)

Happy Birthday to my little Tori! :) I miss her and you all so much. Maybe next year we can celebrate Christmas together.

Love you!

HAPPY 3 TORI

I can possibly take credit for the blond hair and blue eyes but other than that she has a lot of the Franzen genes.

My boy is the only one that seems to resemble the Baumruk clan. He is pretty darn handsome so I am happy to take that credit. :-)

Oh Michelle...I read Tori's birth story and laughed out loud as I recalled some of my experiences in Botswana. My "sister" too asked me if I wanted some tea....."uh no thanks!" No time for drugs for me....Andrew came quick and that was okay. What a beautiful story.....what a beautiful little girl!
