Dad created a masterpiece for the birthday boy on his special day. "Shipwreck in Stormy Waters," we'll call it. Happy Birthday, Zach! You are the smiliest, happiest boy ever, and we praise the Lord for bringing you into our family.

Capes and Crowns
Hand-sewn, individually colored capes and golden crowns from Aunt Laura!
Combined with a rip stick, let the good times roll.
cold out and cold in
Breakfast in the cold season never grows old...
Who doesn't want to get up to temps in the 40s? It's the bomb.
40s out and 40s in... hot chocolate anyone?
It's like constant camping... school with gloves on? We love the cold.

TEN!!!!
For her birthday, Eva invited her friends from school, just girls as she wanted, with a few of the boys' friends who snuck in too. :) Happy birthday to our favorite little girl. You light up our lives and fill our house with joy and laughter.
Field games
Decorating plates from the outdoors with amazing creativity.
The pinata was a great hit... haha
The Big 10
For Eva's 10th birthday, we thought having a pinata would be great fun. So we found a big balloon and used that for the mold
stuffed the thing full of candy
covered it with streamers we found in town
the kids thought it was the best pinata ever!
A village walk
The kids and I were out walking one day and stopped by our friend's house in the village. In typical Lao style, she had us come right in and stay for a bowl of soup, which she made right there while we visited. Best soup ever! No wonder we love to walk in our village.
