It's hard to believe that I have become one of those people who says "I can't believe how fast time flies!" Wow! My littlest baby boy is one year old today. What a great year we have had with him! We feel so immensely blessed that the Lord blessed our family with this sweet boy!
As soon as the kids woke up this morning, we immediately had to sing "Happy Birthday" to Caelum, which he laughed at the whole time, thinking we were hilariously funny. :)
Aile then pronounced that she wanted to read Caelum a birthday story, which Brenner simply could not miss out on. So here they are piled into the glider rocker, listening to Aileana read "What Do You Love?"
And now...for the biggie of the day...Caelum (well, really Caelum's family) got a HUGE gift today! We have been searching and praying and waiting and trusting in the Lord's timing about our vehicle situation. The Land Rover was tired and cramped, and we finally were able to sell it last week. Since then, we've been hoping to find the perfect minivan for our family needs within our very meager budget--as it turns out that was no small task! :) But the Lord provided wondrously, and today we were able to get a new (to us!) Dodge Caravan! We have all been excited, especially the kids! And Caelum likes the new van too--but probably he likes even more the fact that he got to turn his car seat around and face forward when we transferred his seat to the new van! Yeah! The big boy who has been kicking the back of the seat for months can finally have some leg room! :)
Yeah! We love our new van! :) We feel so blessed!
After getting the van all smogged and tagged and titled and insured, we decided to meet up with Sean's dad and step-mom, Duane and Debbie, and Sean's brother Sidney, for dinner, where Caelum enjoyed his first french fries and his first chocolate cupcake! As you will see through the progression of these pictures, he enjoyed the cupcake quite a bit! :)
For those of you who know our family well, you might note the contrast between Caelum's first chocolate experience and Brenner's! :) Ha! (Caelum apparently has no problem getting messy!)HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAELUM! WE LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH! :)
