here comes the son (in-law)

Happy Birthday, Jenner!!

Luciya's boyfriend, Jenner - the son of our dear Oregon friends Trisha and Colby - is a year old today!

He was born 3 1/2 weeks early, forty days after Luciya. He has grown into such a jolly, handsome, strong little boy. To think that when he was born, we weighed just over five pounds!

And here he is today, at a year old:


Seriously, one of the happiest babies I've ever met.

Jenner and Luciya have had the opportunity to meet each other quite a few times. First, when they were both inside their mommies' tummies. Then, when Luciya was outside and Jenner was still in:



And then when he came to visit us in Idaho when he was just eight weeks old:



And last Labor Day weekend, when they were three and four months old:



And at Halloween:


And earlier this month, when Luciya and I went to Portland for Uncle Colby's surprise birthday party!


Jenner, we love you so much and are so happy you and Luciya are going to grow up together.


May you enjoy a beautiful, celebrated day!
