Stephen turns 4!



Stephen celebrated his fourth birthday during the last week of February (clearly we have been a bit busy). Jon and I took him out for a treat during lunch and he LOVED it. The waitresses brought him his very own sweet made with ice cream and cookies and fruit. Between bites he would eek out a huge grin and whisper "Mine, Mine".




Yes, it was his 4th birthday, but it was his 1st birthday at home with us. We figured it was a perfect time to introduce him to one of the famous rats...Chuck E Cheese (ugh!).

One year ago on his birthday I was sitting in the back of a van on my way to an adoption conference in Georgia. I sang a little song to a little boy half a world away that went something like this "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you..." At that moment I had no idea if he would ever be a part of our family,but the Lord did..Praise His mighty name!

Happy Birthday Stephen Isaiah JaeHo Lucas, you are a gift.
