Oma, Opa, and the birthday boy!

Oma made this awesome train cake! It was so cute!

Before...

After!

Karsten turned a year old on January 18th. We had a party at our house with lots of family and friends. Karsten had a blast and we were so blessed by everyone's love for our son.

Karsten,
We love you so much! You are such a fun baby, you love people and playing with others. You are so happy and social! You are very determined and focused to learn new things. You are independent and yet love to be close to mom and dad. We love that you cuddle with us and hope that you stay that way! We pray that you will turn out to be what your name means, a "follower of Christ!" You have changed our lives for the good in so many ways. We couldn't be more proud to have you as our son! We thank our great God for you constantly and enjoy you more and more every day!
Love, Mom and Dad

Learning to walk



Karsten loves pushing the laundry basket up and down the hallway. This is the beginning of January, he's almost 1!
