Happy FIRST Birthday to our beautiful nephew and Godson, Liam James!!!

Just over a year ago , Doug and I were in Hinsdale, IL at a hospital welcoming my sister, Valerie, and brother-in-law’s, Steve, new son, Liam James into the world.  We can hardly believe a year has gone by!!!!  Liam is absolutely adorable with big blue eyes and a joyful contagious personality.  It has been SO much fun watching Liam grow this year.  From a newborn in the hospital that early evening to a bubbly one-year old who is standing on his own, growing teeth, waving us goodbye, laughing a lot and having fun with his Mom and Dad and family and friends.   J 

And, today, Valerie and Steve threw Liam a fabulous first birthday party  to remember.  Everyone had a great time, the food was amazing (Valerie is a wonderful chef—unfortunately I do not have that same talent in the kitchen—lol) , and we just had a great time celebrating baby Liam J

And, of course……here are some photos from the day! I just can't blog without photos :)

"Finally,  whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." – Philippians 4:8

Love & Peace,
