Birthday Fun

Well, we officially have a daughter who is two years old. It is hard to believe but so much fun! She is quite the talker and ball of joy and energy. I tell her how much I love being her mommy and it's the truth! She truly brings so much joy and laughter to the people around us and we thank God for that! She continues to pray for people and sometimes she will look out the window and say, "Jesus is coming!" She will even point. What a gift to have a little girl who reminds us to look for His return and live as if He were coming back today. :)

The birthday week was special but with Mama down and sick we are just praising God for His grace and mercy on us all. Pamela and Joyce (the women who work for us) took amazing care of us and everything really for KG's birthday. We had a small celebration with the school staff and their families and our household. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and people played ball and Frisbee, while others played with playdough and still others chatted. We started with the cake while everyone was there and sang to her and then in Kiswahili. If you ask me I think she preferred the Kiswahili. :) We then ate and some played some more while others looked at some photo albums and then it was over. We had a Mickey theme which was so fun. It was a blessing to find Micky things at a toy store here. To eat we had mandazi (Kenyan doughnut)fruit salad, banana bread, sugar cookies, chips and guacamole, sodas and cake. :)

We have been so blessed with so many packages from so many people.Thank you to all those who blessed us and all the special birthday wishes. God is so good! We praise Him for his blessings!
