Elias, in no way could I have anticipated that we would be celebrating your first birthday under quarantine. But tonight, as I was feeding you your bottle before going to bed, something hit me. A year ago at this very moment, you were in your own quarantine after having difficulty with your breathing. For a week you spent time isolated in the NICU. I was struck at the parallel, and the fact that God was faithful to you back then and He will be faithful to us now.
Despite it all, we were still able to celebrate with some balloons in the morning...
A donut for your breakfast...
And more sweets (cake) for dinner...
and gifts to open...
Your smile has been such a joy to see. Your gentle spirit is obvious to us all. We're going to need those qualities in a house full of three crazy women! Happy Birthday, son!
