Um, where did May go?
Josiah's b-day party was a blast. About 50 friends/fam showed up to a toasty, humid, windy bbq. It was fun to see everyone and celebrate Josiah's 1st year! Can't believe how fast it went. Yes, cliche, but true. Here are some of my fave pics of the day...
He ate about 3 licks of icing, then smashed the rest.
Great cake made by LauraLee!
Mr. Monkey mommy & daddy picked out. He still hugs it like this every time he sees it. So sweet.
He's an early reader.
Then we moved onto planning a fundraiser dinner. It was fun, but was definitely a lot like planning our wedding reception. Lots 'o work. But, it paid off. We were blessed beyond our imagination--again. We raised almost triple what we were asking for. All glory to Him for working out the details. And through the process, we made some amazing connections. Our speaker was a former KU basketball player and I'm pretty sure we're going to be life-long friends with him and his family. It was that deep of a connection.
Next up, 3 trips. Hotlanta with the girls (and Josh and Josiah..haha). Branson one last time. Lousiana for Michael's family reunion.
Then we're off! Starting to count weeks now.................
Wow... I can't believe how soon you guys are leaving! Praise the Lord for a successful fund raising dinner, I've been praying for y'all! Josiah looks adorable as usual, and it sounds like his birthday was a blast. =) I'll keep praying for y'all, keep us updated! =)
