So, May 15th, 2010...the girls and I were back in the states waiting for the arrival or Ethan. Darren was scheduled to back to NC for the summer and then Ethan could come anytime after that. Well, Ethan did wait until Daddy came, but just a few hours. We picked Darren up at the airport, went to dinner, and then went to the hospital. Ethan was born at 11:?? on May 15th.
A full year later, wow how things change. But here we are at his first birthday.
Grandma Penland once again worked her magic and created a great birthday cake for Ethan. It was cute and took her a long time. It was gluten free as we haven't introduced him to gluten yet, but we probably will in the near future.
It was a beautiful spring day and there wasn't really an "agenda" for the party, other than to celebrate Ethan and hang out with friends. The party was scheduled to last from 3:00-4:30, but in actuality lasted much longer because we just hung out with friends.
Ethan got his first taste of cake. As if usual he was timid at first, but then decided that he really liked the icing and ate quite a bit. I don't know if ever really got into the cake part.
Ethan really enjoyed the bright shiny paper and the presents that made noise. Thanks to all that came to celebrate and share this special day with us. Ethan is a special boy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives~
