Happy birthday, Bryce!


We had the best time today helping celebrate Bryce's first birthday.  His birthday was the 25th of June, but the good thing about being one is that you really don't care what day folks celebrate your birthday.  It was convenient to get folks together today, so today we celebrated.   I got this picture of him after he kind of had the hang of smashing his cake.  At first his daddy helped him to get his hands all into the cake and smear it onto his face and he was pretty horrified.  He had a look on his face that said, "I don't think Mommy's going to like this a bit!"  After his sister showed him how good the cake tasted he began to reconsider the mess and accept it for the taste.  He still never liked the mess on his hands much, but he really got into the taste of the cake.  What a precious little guy he is!  This is the same kid who had major surgery on his skull on March 4th; just 4 months ago today his eyes were swollen shut.  He is doing absolutely perfectly and we thank God for his total recovery!

We also thank God for great visits with lots of family today and more tomorrow.  Lee has his stress test in the morning and then we're going to go see Trish and whoever of her kids we can catch at her house.  We're looking forward to that.  For now, we're exhausted from a big day; we thank God for it and for a good place to stay and get a good night's sleep before we start another busy day tomorrow.  Praise God!
