Lorenzo turned one last week, June 18, a huge milestone. We celebrated with a much smaller celebration, just us four plus Grandma. We had cake and balloons, presents, and a trip to the NC Transportation Museum for a ride on the train. Below are some photos of my babies enjoying birthday cake together. Lorenzo had Thomas on his cake and the bakery did a great job. I sometimes wish I had cooked it, but what can I do - sometimes I have to reach out and let someone else do it.

Time flies in an instant... I'm glad we were able to go do something that was special to us, as a family. Lucia's first birthday was a huge affair, and given her situation, it was perfect, but I wanted it to be small and more fun for all of us. The kids loved it. It was hazy, hot, we dodged a pm thunderstorm, but everyone had a great time.
The next day the kids got to enjoy the water table we bought for Enzo for his birthday. Chris captured the perfect picture of him enjoying the water.
I have a long year-end letter I've written to Lorenzo which I will upload as its own entry. In the meantime, here are some of my favorites of the birthday boy. He is such a treasure, such a joy. He's so happy, full of energy, giggles. He's really fit into our family and his smile lights up our household. Love you, Lorenzo, Scoots, Nub/Nubbins, Chub, Chunky Monkey, Bud, and Lucia's new nickname for him: Cubby.
Happy one year to our family!!
