Praise the Lord, we’re almost settled in! Robert got the computer set up and I can finally do one of the things I’ve most wanted to do since we celebrated my dear son’s birthday: Put up the pictures!
My little boy’s real birthday is May 4th, but because of our move to Tarapoto, Robert and I decided to have his birthday celebration a month ahead of time. And since our family and friends live far from each other and it would be kind of hard to get everyone together, we had two birthday parties for Caleb… what a blessed little boy!
We had our first little party at the BCM campus, where all the missionary children live… God is blessing the missionaries and they keep having more and more children! At the party there were the missionary kids, my parents, my brothers, my grandpa, my pastor’s children and some friends.
We had the second party at Robert’s family’s house in Callao. Actually, they organized the party and everything went wonderfully. I am so thankful for my husband’s family; I love them so much and I know that they love us too. They went out of their way to make sure that his party would be really great.
Caleb loves Veggietales. He always has fun watching them, and since they don’t sell many Veggietales products here, we spent several nights looking for ideas on Pinterest and other websites, and I thank God that we found some really good ideas.
