Friday was Joseph's first birthday. Friday was also the embassy Fall Festival (rescheduled because of rain last week) and the day before the Marine Ball and I was immersed in a sewing project with a firm deadline.
Saturday was the Marine Ball.
So today we celebrated his birthday. First birthdays are, I think, supposed to be a big deal. Due to my laziness, Brandon's agoraphobia, and a desire to keep the lid on birthday parties as long as possible, we decided to keep things low key.
I did bake a cake, but we didn't exactly wrap his presents. Joseph, however, was perfectly happy. And he's the one that counts, right?
Happy Birthday, Joseph!
