Last Sunday Isaac turned one year old. The day before that, Reid and I threw a birthday party for Isaac. During this event, we turned our thoughts back to the day one year ago, when we were in the hospital, meeting both Isaac and his very special birthmother for the first time.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to her. We hope that she has been able to meet the goals she has set for herself up 'til this point in her life, without too much worry about her little baby boy. He is well, happy, and even though he made some funny faces as he tried cupcake and frosting for the first time, he ate it all happily. Thank you very much for the very difficult decision to choose adoption for Isaac. We love you!

| Isaac's birthday cake. This was my first attempt at cake decorating. I chose to do the very hungry caterpillar to ease into the world of fine cake decorating. |
 |
| The wonderful decorations were put up by April Menlove and Reid. It was a fun time. |

| Here is Isaac by his cake, wearing his "Happy Birthday to Me" shirt. |

| Isaac considers what to do about that candle. Mom ended up having to blow it out for him. |
 |
| Party Guests: The Menlove family (minus Jake), and the Okere family, (minus Arinze). I guess Dads don't dig birthday parties for 1 year olds. |
