The Birthday Boy - my sweet nephew

While we were in Oregon at the mountain house we celebrated James Langston Sykes' 1st birthday! Langston enjoyed his cake briefly before his daddy (my brother, Stephen) snagged it from him claiming he'd had enough sugar....Just you wait Langston until you come go to Grandma and Grandpa Sykes' house (aka "The land of ofcourse you can!" hee hee)

We were privileged to be at the birth of Langston and it was such a joy and honor to celebrate his first birthday (and congratulate Stephen and Sara on surviving the first year of parenthood!) :) However, they better rest up - #2 is arriving on December 31st!!!
