Happy Birthday!

We had chocolate cupcakes with whipped topping and sprinkles for breakfast.  I also made pancakes.  It was a cake morning.

Today is Michael's birthday and he is six.  Six.  The next year for him is going to involve a lot of change.  I was told that he had a party today with all of his friends.  I'm thankful.

Want to see a new picture of Michael?  Want to read about a family that volunteered?  Want to see what our family will do in the future?


Let the pictures keep going and you'll see him.  And his best friend Biao.  And we sponsor Biao.  And I can't wait to take a picture of me in the middle of these two boys.

Fingerprinting on Tuesday.  Sent off the applications for the boys passports today.  You read that right: boys.  Garrison totally wants to come with us.  We weren't planning on it, but there are good reasons to take him along.  There are also good reasons to keep him home.  Getting the passport gives us the option.  We are praying about it.

Penny is into using tons of toilet paper.  And into plugging the toilet.  Simon is into having lots of expectations of what he wants to do after school and being very unhappy when my plans don't line up with his.  (2 hours of wii, shrimp for supper, Legos for nine hours)  Garrison is into books about birds.  Lots and lots of American birds. . . he brought home an encyclopedia of American birds.  Noel is into being dramatic.  Oh man.

We sold our truck yesterday.  Yes!  God keeps knitting plans together.  Amen and Amen!
