Birthdays and Family

I can hardly believe my little "booger butt" is turning 13 this week. What an absolute joy this child has been in my life. We've partied up a storm all weekend. We've probably overdone it, but heck 13 is a milestone. Friday night we had a wonderful time midnight bowling with Jacob and his cousin and Zach and Candi. It was a lot of fun to just relax with our family and laugh. Saturday Jacob and Brandon hung out all day and played while Zach and Candi and I worked on wedding stuff. Sunday we had everyone over for ice cream and cake and the house was packed full. Kids everywhere!

Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful weekend of family, fun and fellowship. Thank you for two amazing boys. Thank you for the joy and fulfillment they bring us. Thank you for extended family. Looking around the room yesterday it was such a blessing to see each and every face.
