Happy First Birthday, Gideon!!

I believe that I have now overcome my case of blogging fatigue! And the big news that has pulled us back into the blogosphere is that Gideon is now ONE! His birthday was yesterday, August 12 and, unfortunately, we all had to celebrate by taking a 16-hour van ride from Glorieta, NM. I think we'll bust out the cake tomorrow. OH, we recently took some new family pics. Here I am with my little men.
To catch you all up to speed....Gideon has transitioned so very well since arriving home on May 28. In a nutshell, he's sleeping through the night, eating well, and growing on pace with his others his age.


When we returned from Uganda, he was scooting. It wasn't long that he was crawling and NOW he's been walking for about 2 or 3 weeks. I mean REALLY walking. He loves to get around!


Little Gideon loves his brothers, and the feeling is mutual--except for a little jealous acting out by Abram from time to time. The boys play well together and Gideon responds especially well to big brother Jonah. Jonah likes lending a helping hand with his littlest bro.


We couldn't be happier with our little gang of boys. Life here is tiring and crazy but oh so sweet. Looking forward to what this next year holds for our littlest man!
