Look Who's One!

Happy Birthday, Crewe! What an incredible journey this last year has been with our Crewe-ton. There's no way we could have imagined the amount of joy, light, and peace this little guy would bring into our lives in such a short time.

Crewe has come a long way from his complicated delivery, maze of tubes, and soundless months. We are so proud of the way he has handled his multiple procedures, dealt with food deprivation (for anesthesia), and endured literally thousands of suctioning sessions. Through it all Crewe has kept a smile on his face. We have certainly seen and still see the hand of the Lord in his life and our lives. His hand often appears through the kind prayers, words of support, and selfless service of others.

Crewe is a happy, go-lucky kinda of guy, and that's the kind of birthday celebration he had. After extra loves and attention in the morning (he never gets enough because he's just so low mantainence and doesn't demand anything), we took him to see the ducks and have lunch at a Mexican restaurant near our house. Later we followed up with gifts and cupcakes with soy frosting (darn that milk allergy).






Crewe loved the tissue and wrapping paper as much (if not more than) the gifts themselves.

Oh how Cal loves to "help" his little brother.

Life is good when you can have cupcakes with Dad.
