Happy #1 to our son

No, we don't have a one year old, but Matteus has been with us for ONE WHOLE YEAR!!! So, yes we do have a one year celebration for a 2nd son, just a few days after we celebrated the birthday of our first son (see last post). This past weekend marked the day when he first arrived in CA to meet his siblings at the Sacramento airport (after a 30+ hour mostly sleepless journey with dad)!

It has been a year full of firsts! Since last October he has experienced his first airpline ride, first new words, first foods, first toys, first games, first swimming, first camping, first marshmallows, first rollercoaster, first winter... FIRST forever FAMILY.

He didn't know a lot of things, but he knew by the next month that Jesus loved him

Here was our little one-year-old one year ago

And here he is our two-year-old little man now ...

In one year he has grown, learned another language (French and Swahili almost all forgotten now), and so many new things, and has thrived in his new family and church family as a complete joy to all who know him. We are so thankful that the Lord has graciously given us another blessing to love. It has only been one year, but it feels like he's been with us forever. We can't wait to see what God is going to do with this little guy!
