Happy Birthday, Aedyn!


My big boy is 3 today! We celebrated on Sunday but saved a piece of cake for today which was requested at breakfast. Aedyn asked for a chocolate-orange cake so we baked a Brown Sugar Chocolate Cake with orange marmalade filling and orange-cream cheese frosting. Balloons, friends, and WARM WEATHER made for a great party.

So far, 3 suites him. He's been very polite today. "Fanks, mama!" is music to my ears. Aedyn Shepherd brings such joy and humor to our lives, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for him.

Some pictures from his party:

Happy February!





Everyone's growing taller and toothier. (well, not EVeryone.) We're home for our WI house-hunting trip and we may or may not be buying. We'll post if/when we find a house to buy!

Enjoy these happy times. Aedyn posing. Justice getting his first haircut. Babies raiding the cupboards. Eliyah being silly.
