FIRST birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We celebrated Micah's birthday with a trip to the Birmingham Zoo -- despite the sweltering heat, he loved it! His favorite animals were the monkeys & the sea lions...I think that is because they offered the most action.


We're looking foward to Micah's official birthday celebration in Springfield/Branson when we head north for America World's Africa Reunion!



Yes, this is an out-house...couldn't resist!

Micah loved the big, white kitty...err, albino Bengal Tiger.

I was most excited about seeing the giraffes...Micah did not share my enthusiasm...maybe because they were too far away.

Any time, any place...happy baby...excuse me, I meant one-year old! :0

Ohhhh, sugar coma, here we come! No, the icing didn't make him sick! And despite the sugar-high, he slept most the night!


So funny, he'd never eaten cake, but he knew exactly what to do -- this kid don't mess 'round when it comes to food!


All clean...time for presents!






Thanks, Graham & Sawyer for my super-cool plaid jumper!!

I was surfing the web looking for information for a friend traveling to Ethiopia and wound up on an ethiopian adoption blog. I read one and clicked on another and another...
God bless you and your family. I've slipped lately in regards to my faith and I think God led me to read these journals. Some of your posts really hit me. Your music is inspirational too!
Anyway, your son is a cutie. As a black American female I commend you and your husband for your love having no boundaries. How better how society would be if everyone opened the windows of their heart and loved all of God's children. I think we are closer than ever.

Best of everything to you and yours,
