Ilona's Birthday

Last Sunday, our dear friends, Mat and Nikki, celebrated their daughter's first birthday! Ilona is one of the sweetest little girls we know, and we just adore her. Caleb has been doting on Ilona since he first met her in the hospital, and she thinks everything he says and does is hilarious. They are really cute to watch.

I also got to see an old friend of mine (and Mat's sister) at the party. Robin and I were good friends for about 10 years, but I hadn't seen her since right after her daughter, Nova, was born. Nova is 5 now! It was nice catching up with her and spending time with Nova.

Calebism #1-
Caleb: What's that friend's name?
Mommy: Nova
Caleb: Wow! That's a pretty good name!

As we were leaving,
Ms. Nikki: Thanks for coming, Caleb.
Caleb: Thanks for having cake!
He sure does have his priorities! :)

Here are a few pictures of our precious future daughter-in-law. Are betrothals legal in the US? :)

Also here's an old video clip of Ilona laughing at Caleb when she was about 8 months old:
