It is hard to sufficiently express gratitude for the past 12 months. Despite some initial challenges in getting this whole parenthood thing started, I would say we made out like bandits. Judging by the speed with which Luka is acquiring mobility, babblebility, dexterity and a whole lot of other 'ity's - we're in for an interesting ride.
Today we got to celebrate the first of many joint birthdays for my boys, and I couldn't help but think back one year ago to when I was a terrified, first-time pregnant mom in a foreign country, dreading going into labor. Yet, here we are today, celebrating the first birthday of many more to come!! Here are a few of my favorite photos from today...
If my year of baking results in a book I will call it 'A Year in the Baking' and this recipe will feature - Serious Eats' Brown Butter Pecan Carrot Cake - yummie! And I go back to my belief that I now need a cake decorating class. |
The BIRTHDAY BOYS! |
Happy Birthday to y'all! Happy Birthday to y'all... |
With mommy/mamma... |
Ah yes - daddy and mamma's birthday gift to the little terror....a HELMET - (with that mischievous look, how could you NOT want to put a helmet on him...) |
What a lovely day, with two amazing people.... |
