I've been following the story of Noe's adoption through your blog and the CLBB, and it's so great to see a picture of your first Halloween together - you both look very, very happy. Hooray for you and your family! What a beautiful little girl (and a beautiful mommy!)

You are SO right! It's like we still have a whole year of "firsts" ahead for us. :-) Stephanie . . . Aren't husbands funny with their hints? Christopher is already doing that about a second. I actually did chronicle our full adoption journey on a blog (Funny enough, it was my first blogging endeavor and I began it on a whim, thinking it would be a great way for friends and family to keep track of our progress. And it was, I've had several people comment how they felt like they were walking right beside us as we moved along on our journey.) You're welcome to check it out at http://huberadoption.blogspot.com . I'll be curious to hear where you end up with Vietnam! NotSoSage . . . So cute . . . I STILL haven't stopped smiling!

I'm fascinated by the adoption process and if you've written more about it, I'd enjoy reading about your experience. I've read when you flew to get her - but the process prior? I've been to Vietnam twice on medical missions and adore the kids and my husband keeps saying that our 6 y.o. will soon be an only child when our 18 y.o. leaves for college. (hint hint honey) :-) steph Lia - is there a place here that tells the story of Noe?

It's so nice that from now on you'll have the *whole* (grand) year with her between birthdays. Adorable (and adored, I’m sure!)

I've been meaning to stop by and tell you all about the cupcake success! (Izzy's mama is the one who said, "are you kidding, you HAVE to bake a cake for your daughter's first birthday party!" when I was contemplating just buying one on izzy's mama's blog. She was also the brilliant one who suggested cupcakes.) The whole pumpkin theme felt just perfect, and several people did suggest that it might just have to become a tradition. And in answer to your question . . . Noe DEVOURED an entire cupcake! Started with the frosting (with a "what is THIS?" kind of look on her face) and then moved on to the cake. It was just precious. So thank you, again, for being the inspiration behind a new family tradition! Hi izzy’s mama! I’ve been meaning to stop by and tell you all about the cupcake success!

I am so glad that you went through with it. You will have those memories to share with her as time goes on. And maybe a cupcake making tradition as well. The question is..Did Noe eat one??
