Jonas and Jember's 1st birthday fell on a magical Day
On a day more special then most, I rose early to catch the early glimpses of a historical inauguration. With Jonas snuggled on my lap (Jember was still sleeping), we issued in a new day...a new president...a new era of living with hope.
What a perfect day to celebrate the first birthday of our children. What a lovely day for us - an opportunity to hold our children on our lap and to say - with great love and certainty - that this is a new day of promise. This is a day of hope. For today we can tell you (our beloved children!) that you can dare to dream, dare to hope, and dare to follow your own hearts to greatness.
In short - what a wonderful day to turn 1-year old!
We held the birthday party after school. Cupcakes for everyone! With good friends joining our party - we celebrated Jonas and Jember!
The birthday table is set

We love Lisa (our W-F nanny and dearest friend)

Can anyone believe how fast time moves? Can anyone believe that 9 months ago these beautiful, tiny little people were placed into our arms...absorbed into our family...and forever changed the fabric of our lives?
They were so tiny
They bring us such joy! Happy Birthday Jonas and Jember
