A Week Worth Celebrating

Tuesday was Ekisa’s three-year birthday! Crazy how fast this past year has flown, and I think even crazier for Emily and Emily to think of where the past three have gone. Lots of mixed emotions in remembering all the joys, struggles, good times, and bad. We had plans of planning a big birthday party, but like many things, bigger things come up, and plans like big parties get pushed aside. We still enjoyed our day – went out for a nice lunch, then came back and had a party with the kids. We usually celebrate birthdays by months, but having missed a couple, we celebrated all the kids’ birthdays from December, January, and February! Cake, music, dancing, presents – birthday parties, though small, are something that we do right!

Then today, we had a party for Zeke and Viola. Viola is our physiotherapist, and she has officially adopted Zeke, and today he officially went home. Such a long time coming, but such a beautiful story that I feel blessed to have witnessed and been able to be a part of. This makes our second domestic adoption case! Definitely something worth celebrating!
