Perched on a hill overlooking the lakes loved by Beatrix, Wordsworth, Mason. Our Boy celebrated his one-year of life.

A picnic outdoors… the most fitting place for a young boy!

A few interesting guests showed up, much to the merriment of the birthday boy.

Mama found a way to provide sweetness (kindly baked by our Manor’s pastry chef), topped of course with a friend’s handmade and generous creativity.

He inhaled ever sprinkle of his first sugar!

It seems but a second that fresh Morning of last May when beauty was bursting all around ~ you came to us ~ joining spring’s vivid gifts of wonder ~ My world erupted with the joy of you ~ These slipping seconds of last year's days, have been glimmers of God’s grace and the wonder of you and your precious life ~ Sweet Boy ~ I Love Deeply ~ Happy Birthday!
