Birthdays!!!

Since William & I will be in Ethiopia on Jeremy's 11th birthday, October 27, we celebrated today!! His best friend, Bethany, came over, and Jeremy opened his gifts. Marissa bought him the Lil' Kinz unicorn that he wanted with her own money.










After the gifts were opened, we went to P. F. Chang's for lunch. The kids had Shirley Temples all around -and around again. (Annika is FREAKING!!!!) We ordered Jeremy's favorite, Moo Shu Pork, and other yummy dishes.

The waiter brought Jeremy a mini cake, and we sang "Happy Birthday."


Another month has passed in our little one's life. Benaiah is 9 months-old today. We know that he is crawling and pulling up and is a happy guy.

We began our packing yesterday. So far, we have 3 big suitcases and a Rubbermaid container. We are probably going to need to pay for an extra piece to get all of the donations there, but it is wonderful that we have to much to take!

Thank-you all who dropped off formula in the box at church!
