first things first

(The inside pictures of the apartment are uploaded and you can see them in

another 24 hours or so.)

Today was Nathan's birthday!!! But you all already knew that because of facebook. So with our brand new tiny little electric oven, I baked him a cake. It took twice as long as it was supposed to, so I definitely have some learning to do with this little oven. But it did bake, so that's the important part.

Josiah was very, very excited about the candles. He is generally excited about all birthdays and refers to them as "happy birthdays" and "happy birthday cakes."

Here are a couple videos of the singing and celebration:

(One time he did actually include the "dear Daddy" part,

but of course I didn't video that one.)

I tried to get a good picture of my two boys...

...but it was not to be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE!
