Josiah's Birthday

Yesterday was Josiah's 8th Birthday. We had a great time celebrating the day that God brought him into our lives. He is such a precious gift to our family. Chuck and Kathi Ripka graciously hosted a little party for him at their home on the lake. We invited another family who have 6 kids. Four of them boys, around Josiah's age. Josiah had so much fun swimming, fishing, tubing and hanging out with some of his new friends. Siri and I made him an "Animal Planet" cake....Vanilla, of course!! All in all it was a perfect day. I was so thankful for it. I had worried that he would feel sad missing his Hawaii friends and wishing for a party at the rec center with all things familiar. God's grace and joy was present for all of us and we had a wonderful time. Thanks for all the prayers. They are being answered!!!!
