Happy Birthday Adam Longji!

Longji's 7th birthday was Thursday, March 31st. He turned seven years old and he is officially a big boy now! After school Thursday we had our 12 month post adoption homestudy and our first homestudy for Brielle's adoption. The homestudies went well, but we now realize how much work we have ahead of us. After the visit we went to a favorite Chinese restaurant of ours for a mini-birthday party. My parents joined us for dinner and it was fantastic! Longji passed out cupcakes earlier in the day at school and all he could talk about was the "big" birthday on Saturday.



The weather today was perfect! Not too hot and the cloud cover protected us from the sun. We had close friends and family join us and we had one of Longji's classmates attend. She was a sweetheart. This was probably the biggest event yet for Longji here at home. He has explained to us that he has not had a birthday party before with friends and presents and a cake. We did send him a cake last year, but there are only pictures with him and the nannies eating the cake. He has been to numerous birthday parties here in America and he had great expectations for this first one. On the way home he thanked us in the car and said, "I liked my big birthday party." Oh, he is too cute! Enjoy the pictures!
