happy first birthday, Silas!

What a wonderful birthday!! The pictures are pretty clear on how the boy felt about his carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese icing. He enjoyed it later from my lap. Aunt Katy arrived on Saturday and PaPa and Gaga (Jill's parents) drove in tonight. We ate dinner and then celebrated Silas. Like most kids his age, he enjoyed the tissue paper and boxes and we're slowly introducing his new books and toys. Who knew birthday cards tasted so good?

Silas Mezmur Coen, your daddy and I are blessed beyond measure to be your parents.

Lord, give us the wisdom to raise Silas in Your ways. Let him love you early and steadily. Thank You for trusting us with this beautiful boy.
