Joe's Birthday (Thankful Thursday)

We are most thankful this week for our Joseph and the chance we had to celebrate his life. We had a week full of celebrating. We had Gigi and GranRan and Aunt Julie here to celebrate and it was a wonderful time.

Happy first birthday, sweet Joseph. You have blessed our lives beyond measure.

We had a banana/frog theme to his birthday celebration.



Banana pancakes for breakfast made by Sam.


We had pizza for dinner and banana muffins for dessert.





Andy made Joseph an axe for his birthday. The chair is still being made, but isn't done, so he made the axe so he would have something to open. He is obsessed with it. Now all is right in the Eckert household because all the 'men' have axes.

This outfit is the one that Samuel wore on his first birthday. I just had to continue the trend.


Driving around in his new car. He is quite the big boy riding around in it.

Slow down boy, I can hardly keep up!
