Jude's 1st Birthday Party

Jude's first birthday was a great success, inspite of the opposition. We had to go to Nashville the day of Jude's birthday for a meeting, during which Sarah decided she would get sick. So, with only Saturday morning to prepare and Sarah being down for most of it, we prayed for God to make it work, and He did. Everything went too perfectly to be an accident.

It's my cake and I'll smear it if I want to.

January

Here are a couple of pics taken shortly before his landmark 1st birthday. As you can see, he is learning how to walk. His first independent steps were taken on January 13th.

all of the above were taken during a nice heat wave that allowed us to play outside a bit.

Jude and I caught a great sunrise one morning



Jude loves the outdoors and loves Buffy...Buffy loves licking herself
