What a day! Desta knew something was up as everyone kept singing happy birthday to her. She’d get a big smile and then clap for herself at the end!
We celebrated with my sister, Mindy and had ice cream cupcakes. Desta was MELTING DOWN at that point so the pictures are not so grand.
She had a hard time falling asleep and it took Daddy working his magic to get her down.
Looking forward to day one of year two of her life tomorrow!

I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
This blog began as a way to chronicle the journey to getting our third daughter through adoption. I have found that since I began writing, this blog has become a place for community, support and a safe place to share about my LIFE.
Happy birthday, Desta! Can’t wait to watch you grow!
