| that morning |
 |
| sending our donations to his memorial funds |
 |
| baking his cake |
 |
| his balloons |
 |
| decorating his cake later that day |
 |
| those are supposed to be birds. i'm not an artist! |
 |
| getting ready to send him his balloons |
 |
| each balloon had a message telling him what we missed about him |
 |
| 3:52pm letting them go at the time of his birth |
 |
| and some got stuck on the powerline - doh! |
 |
| but they eventually wiggled themselves free and went off to be with Juju |
 |
| eating cake after dinner |
 |
| some of his gifts |
 |
| his memorial ad that ran in today's paper instead of on his birthday, but still wonderful nonetheless |

I'm a little late responding, but you and your precious little boy have been on my mind so much. I lifted you up in prayer and hope that you felt His grace and peace on Juju's special day.
Thank you for sharing the wonderful pictures!!!
Just came over from Rebecca's blog to give you a virtual hug and say that I keep you in thought. Glad you celebrated your son's birthday in a way that felt meaningful. I thought the idea of sending balloons up at the time of his birth was absolutely beautiful. Wishing you and your husband peace as you continue to grieve your immense loss.
I love that you ran a memorial in the newspaper. What a great idea!
His cake looks so yummy!
Thanks for sharing his day with us!
I have seen your blog and read briefly, but now catching up. :) I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. I love the idea of releasing balloons at the time he was born. We are having a memorial/bday party for Adam in November and I was thinking of when to release his balloons. He was born at 10:01 am, so I think we will do it then as a small family thing before his big party in the afternoon. Thanks for the idea! Many hugs.
