Just the other day a local friend
asked which season in the States I, Erin, miss the most. As I thought about the question , I realized I miss the changing of seasons the most as there is not an end to the heat nor do I notice the passing of time in the same way the seasons cause. With that said, it seems every so hard to believe that our baby girl
is now one-year-old.
Sunday, June 4th, we
celebrated Evangeline’s first birthday as a family. We have been immensely blessed over the
past year. Evangeline was born, healthy and whole,just one day after we
arrived in the big city, which is where we desired to give birth.
My body healed and adjusted to nursing quicker than I remember with
either of the boys. We flew to apply for
her passport within her first week of life and she stayed healthy throughout all the
traveling. Evangeline had a passport and
we all received visas within her frist month. Other than a few colds, ant bites, and
mosquito bites that turn into very large red spots on her very white skin, she
has been very healthy. These many
blessings are create such praise as we live in an environment and culture so
different than John and I grew up in.

For her birthday I made cranberry scones.
She enjoyed the scones but picked out most of the cranberries.
We then celebrated at lunch with some of her favorite foods, cupcakes, and presents.
It was a nice time together!

| We all enjoyed spaghetti, corn on the cob, and a spinach like vegetable. |
 |
| Not sure what to do with the cupcake. |
