dare's first birthday

Dare's FIRST Birthday.  We had quite the turnout for his celebration!  It is a blessing to us to have so many people in our lives who love our little guy so much and wanted to be a part of his day.

 We had overflow in the garage because the weather was not quite nice enough to be outside for the whole evening.

 He had had enough!  He wanted cleaned up, and away from the center stage!

 I had commissioned my dad to make a wooden stool for Dare so he could have it in the bathroom when he gets a bit older.  He surprised us with it as a birthday present.  It is perfect!  Thanks Papa!

 Bogey was such a good boy throughout the whole evening of chaos



 Ryan and I with The Siefert Family, Dare's second family.  They take such good care of him Monday-Thursday, and love him like their own.
