The Birthday Boy!!!

We celebrated Odesco's 6th birthday on 9/18. Grandmom and Pop Pop B along with Mimi and Pop-Pop joined us to celebrate on Sunday(yes, I know I am shamefully behind on this post!)
As part of his birthday celebration, Odesco went home with Mimi and Pop-Pop after his party for a special overnight. Mercy and L were definitely 'off' the following day -- it took a few mini meltdowns for me to realize they were truly missing their brother! Once I asked though, the tears began to flow and they both admitted that they wanted Odesco home!! Again, another evidence of God at work in our midst:) When he walked in the door, Odesco sighed and stated, "L, it's good to be home!" We all enjoy Odesco's belly laugh and 'groovin' moves' when he thinks no one is watching him... He brings much joy and laughter to our home...I'm so grateful the Lord in His wisdom chose to add this 'little' man to our family!!!


All smiles on his special day!!

Odesco is the first to 'christen' our newest tradition...the addition of a Birthday plate to the festivities...

Modelling his newly created Star Wars cloak from Mimi...


Another amazing Mimi creation...we all thought the 'hair' on this cake looked like Odesco's! We also enjoyed Grandmom B's famous brownies and pumpkin bread...what a feast!
