I am four!

Our first birthday with Dawit and Israel.  What a sweet day.  Celebrating and joyfully recognizing that they are a  precious part of our family.

Here is a video of the best part.  The birthday song.  They had seen and heard it 6 times before it was their turn to have the song and the cake.  We made a cake for each of them.  Israel wanted chocolate and Dawit wanted pink.  I told everyone that we were going to sing each of them their own song.  There was a quizzical look from some of the family but once they saw how special it was for them to have their own song they understood. 


They enjoyed their cake!






And their presents!

The next day we went to preschool with yummy cupcakes to share with their friends and a mom said Happy Birthday to them and asked how old they were.  They shouted, "I am four!"  So proud!

As we hear back from colleges for Sean for next year, I realize how quickly it all goes.  In a moment I know that these boys will be off to school, playing their first soccer game, middle school, dances, girls, and driving.

Learning to savor the moments and not to worry about the small stuff.   






Happy Birthday Israel and Dawit!!
