Django’s 8th Birthday!
21st August, 2025. 8 years ago, we welcomed the cutest little Django Timothy into our family. Daphné was so excited to have a baby brother! She even wrote him a little song on a toy guitar in the hospital room when she met him at age 2-1/2. It was adorable. Well, he is big now, and I can’t believe how fast time goes.
It’s true when THEY (whoever THEY are) tell us that the days are long, and the years are short. So true. Enjoy this celebration of our boy Django. 8 YEARS OLD!
He loves croissants, so naturally an easy birthday breakfast choice. I’m so glad I bought two, because the wax melted on this one. Django wanted a non-wax croissant - haha.
Morning birthday song by me and Daphné.
He got them all in one fell swoop.
Opening cards. This one is from my cousin Tricia. Phonetically, she spelled his name perfectly ;).
