Is it just me, or is it always someone's birthday around here?? ;) In our family there's a birthday every month of the year. Hurray for us!
Today it's Elena's turn. Hard to believe it's been 14 years since she almost killed my mother. :P (Just joking, Elena... although, technically.... ;)
Here's Elena and Jeff and Mia the kitten in 1996. Aww.. ain't she tute? Elena, I mean. Although yes, Mia was pretty adorable, too. :)

Here's Elena again, in 1997. She's got great fashion sense, even as a 3½ year old.

Here's Elena in March 2000. Notice how she's working the soap-hawk. Future hair stylist, perhaps?

And finally, Elena this June at the fireworks. She still hasn't figured out exactly WHAT she wants to do with that hair, but all in all she's still pretty cute. ;) For now. >:}

Happy Birthday, Elena!
Yep, she certainly is a cutie-pie. And growing up so fast. Thanks for posting the pictures, Adeena.
