Jonah's Birthday

Today is Jonah's 5th Birthday. We spent the day celebrating Jonah as a family. He is so precious to us. We went out to lunch and had a special dessert. Jonah managed to spill some water on his clothes, which of course meant that they all had to come off. He left the restaurant in his sisters extra t-shirt...it was pink., He actually thought this was quite comical. We sang Happy Birthday and blew out candles.....several times.

His favorite part is watching the smoke float up after you blow them out.

We picked out this fun stuffed snake for Jonah. He loves it and has been playing with it all day.
Our Friends, Chuck and Kathi came over for dinner and to celebrate with us. Uncle Chuck was spinning Jonah around and he just kept asking for more until they were both about to fall over.

We prayed and thanked God for the special gift he has given us in our son Jonah. He is such a happy, sweet boy. At dinner we all shared about our favorite thing that Jonah does or says. Jonah has a habit of interjecting into situations by saying "Wonderful, Wonderful God". This is one of our favorites. I remember, when Jonah was first diagnosed with Autism, my main prayer was that he would know God's love, that he would be able to give and receive love and that he would have joy. I believe that God is answering those prayers. We continue to ask God to heal him completely and we ask that you agree with us in prayer that his full destiny will be fulfilled in Christ Jesus.
