My Eyes Adored You

Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. Genesis 37:3

As my next birthday approaches, it does feel like Merritt is the son of my old age (and I do like to shop for him), but it's Merritt's first birthday that has me wondering where the time has gone! A year ago, we welcomed our big bundle of joy to our family and now he's a walking talking real live boy! Congratulations to us for getting another boy to his first birthday without incident and congratulations to Merritt for surviving his first year with us! It's been so fun watching Mason & Miles step into their roles as big brothers - Mason is a great caretaker and Miles is our entertainer.

Happy First Birthday, our sweet Merritt!
