Daniel and I flew to Maryland to celebrate my nephew, and Godson, Luke’s 1st Birthday. It’s a little sad because it’s our family’s last “First Birthday Party,” unless someone surprises us with a new baby. (And when I say SOMEONE, I definitely do NOT mean me.)
We had such a great time. The weather was perfect for an outdoor celebration. It was super cool to watch all the cousins play in the sandbox, ride big wheels, make sidewalk chalk drawings, blow bubbles, and play football and soccer in my sister’s big backyard. Even Luke got in on the soccer action with the help of his Daddy.
Luke is such a wonderful, mellow little guy. He loves to observe and smile at everyone. But he is minutes away from walking which I’m sure is making my sister a teeny bit nervous.
He loved all his birthday toys and he especially loved his giant birthday cake. He dove right in. It was hilarious. It was a wonderful last first birthday party celebration for our family. I was so happy Daniel and I were there to be a part of it all.
We’ve always referred to Luke as “Baby Luke.” But even Daniel said on the airplane flight home, “Mama, we have to call him Big Boy Luke now.”
Yes, Bean, I guess we do.
