Happy Birthday Joseph!

Today our sweet baby turns 2!! We celebrated this weekend with a cake and will be going out for Ethiopian food later in the week. Next month we plan on having a big celebration when Grandma and Grandpa Galbraith are in town. If you can't tell by the video, Joseph thought the cake was pretty cool!

He is Risen!!

This weekend, in addition to celebrating the resurrection of our Saviour, we were also able to share some of our family traditions with Joseph. We dyed eggs, participated in multiple Easter egg hunts, and Joseph even found a little Easter surprise waiting for him Easter morning. We feel so blessed to have Joseph as part of our family and to be able to share the joy of celebrating our Risen Lord!







1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...

Daddy's Boy

One thing that we weren't expecting after bringing Joseph home is how quickly he would attach to the men in his life. He absolutely adores his Dad, Grandpas, and Uncles. In fact, when we are all together he immediately gravitates to the men. The reason we were surprised is that there were few, if any, male caregivers at the orphanage. We weren't sure how he would respond to the men in his life. I must say I think it is very cute how much he LOVES his daddy. At times, I admit, I am a bit jealous but it is so amazing to see my husband in that role and the incredible bond that they have already formed.

And you will never believe this, Joseph likes to dress like his Daddy too! :)

Take me out to the ballgame

It was opening weekend in St. Louis and we were excited for Joseph to get to experience Cardinal nation at Busch stadium! We were so proud of our little man who lasted all the way to the 8th innning - pretty impressive for an almost 2 year old. Let's just say his daddy was proud.
