Happy Birthday John!

Delano’s new picture atop our page has inspired me to starting posting again. . . at least for the time being. 
We celebrated John’s first birthday yesterday, and what a day it was. Starting early in the morning with a feverish rush to wrap his birthday presents, followed immediately by the three minute “opening” of said presents. It started our day on the right foot. The sheer excitement exhibited by all of John’s older siblings was contagious. From Joshua down to Elias, everyone gathered around the birthday boy to see him open his first ever presents. Elias even squealed in his excitement. Delano took pictures, John hid his face in my arm overcome with shyness at being the center of attention. The picture still sits in my mind. How awesome it is. . . how completely and totally awesome it is. . . that this little boy is so totally and completely loved by his 5 siblings. John is so obviously a blessing in our lives, but what a blessing that he has these brothers and his sister. There is no child in this world that is loved more than this little boy.
A homemade rattle (made weeks ago by Joshua and Mary Rachel), homemade decorations by Thomas, reminiscing amongst the kids about the day John was born, fights between Elias and Dominic over who would sit next to John to blow out the candle, a birthday fort built by Dominic and Elias in honor of John, a fajita dinner with the entire family. . . all of this was part of our day, and the day could not have been better. How blessed we all are, and how grateful I am.

Just a quick note to remind everyone we’re still here. I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months since the last time we posted anything. Well, I hope that will change soon. I can say that at least the header graphic has been updated to reflect our youngest, John.
Everyone’s doing well and growing so fast. John just turned one and Joshua is about to turn 12 in a couple of weeks. We have much to share on everything that has been going on the last few months so we’ll be back soon with some updates.
Hope things are going great for everyone!
