As of this week, we have a 6-year-old, a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a 1-year-old! Our home is not lacking in noise or energy. It’s a party all day every day! 
We celebrated Shepherd’s first birthday with a little family get-together at home.
He is a well-loved little man…

He was a little confused by everyone singing to him!
I made a grain-free banana chocolate chip birthday cake...
...with lots of whipped cream
I love my family!
Little man playing with some of his new toys...
...and graciously sharing with his big brother
I can't get enough of his scrunchy-nose grin!
We love you, sweet Shepherd!

Nice pictures. I won’t even make you delete any of me!
Shepherd’s scrunchy nose is just too much! I can’t hardly handle the cuteness! I love my family, too! And love you guys so much, such a wonderful family to be able to share our lives with!
We’ve given him so much attention with the scrunchy nose that he’s doing it constantly now! And I still can’t get enough of it.
Happy Birthday Shepherd. I can’t believe he is one already time flies. I love your natural hair color, it looks very good on you.
I know, I can’t believe he’s one. The time flies by faster with each kid, I think! Thanks for the compliment…I’m still getting used to my natural color, but I *think* I’m liking it.
Thanks so much for posting these pictures. I can’t wait to see you all and hold this little guy for real. Also love the pics of Mom who I miss dearly, you who hopefully I will get to see reallllll sooon. And the rest of the pics are great.
Love ya!

You’re welcome, Grandma! I don’t take pictures with my real camera very often anymore, so I try to post them here when I do! Looking forward to seeing you guys soon. Love you!
Me too! I love his scrunchy nose grin! I love your family too, what a blessing that they were able to celebrate this wonderful occasion with you.
