Chicago Birthday Party!

Okay, okay! I know I have been very delinquent about posting on our blog, and I apologize. It has been a very busy summer between traveling and working. You'll be happy to know that we've been taking lots of photos and plan to share them here as we are able. For starters, I take you back to Miles' Chicago birthday, which was hosted by Uncle Seth and Aunt Carina on July 5th:

Take a look at the birthday boy on his new airplane from Dee and Granner!

We were grateful that so many friends and family came to celebrate with us.

Godpapa James showed up in his fancy convertible.
He truly is 007!

Miles assumed the car was his birthday present . . .
. . . not until you're 16, son.

Miles received MANY generous gifts . . .

. . . but as usual, he preferred the envelopes and wrapping paper.

Is that kid picking his nose back there? . . I think so.

Another M&M cake, although this time it was a train theme in honor of Dee.

This is one joyful one-year-old, folks!

THANKS to all our family and friends for making this such a special birthday!
