Adoption and Birthday party



Finally got around to officially celebrating Ethan's adoption...5 months after the fact! We decided to just hold off until his 2nd birthday and throw one humdinger of a party. The rain held off the entire day (thanks to the fervent prayers of my 5-year-old). We rented a bounce house and had about 40 people in and out of our home throughout the day. Ethan bounced from 10-5 with nothing but Doritos and cake fueling him along. Having gone the whole day sans nap, by 5:30 he was nodding off in his dinner plate, opened his presents and then crashed into bed at 6pm. We are feeling especially thankful for our amazing friends and family who rejoice with our victories (not to mention sharing in our sorrows). But no sorrows this day...just one happy boy getting to know what it feels like to be the center of attention:)

Cousin baby Quinn, who, at 8 months may soon surpass Ethan in weight:)

The "sand" is oatmeal and rice(dyed blue) in case you're wondering. The birds love us and sneak in for a bite when we're not around
