Sebastien turned one year old today. Wow. One year. Jen put together a nice collage of month-by-month photos. A couple of things we noticed when looking at the pics lined up like that:

1) We thought he was a cute baby. Not a chance. He’s much cuter now.
2) We thought he had a lot of hair as a newborn. Um, yeah. He looks bald in those early shots.

It has been quite a year, and it’s safe to say that we’ve learned a lot — who would have thought that an infant would be such a wise sage? Life has changed quite a bit for us. I was just thinking last night that just a year or two ago we were fixtures at the New River Gorge (and Roger’s campground). Now, we probably wouldn’t know a soul down there. We both miss those days at least a little bit, but these days are much better.

Anyway, we’re having a little family party for him this evening (including his first taste of birthday cake), which should include many, many presents from our families. Expect some pictures as soon as we get DSL (don’t get me started about how much of a pain it was for us to put those new images on the homepage over a dialup)….
