Almost too much of a breeze for a candle.Our focus was shifted yesterday evening from our adoption crisis to a celebration. We were blessed to be asked to host our daughter's best friend's birthday party here on our property. Not just any party, but her sweet 16! We had a blast! Teens everywhere and some of our dearest friends.
The "not so teens" hangin' out by the grill.
We met A and her family about 2 years ago, and they have blessed us immeasurably! We have so much in common and I can't help but think that God somehow created them for us. We love you guys!
Rain threatened to put a dent in our plans but thanks to many, many prayers from A, God kept the showers at bay and even sent a nice summertime breeze. And remember, we live in the south, so "summertime" and "nice" are rarely in the same sentence. The night was perfect. We shared food, karaoke, volleyball and of course, the infamous tarp/dishwashing liquid slip and slide. I tell you, kids crack me up (as does A's mom, my dear friend who tried her hand or fanny at the slip and slide). Oh, and what party would be complete without shaving cream?!
My sweet friend (A's mom) sliding...well, almost.
All in all, the night was beautiful! Thank you so much for choosing us to share this special day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, A!!! WE LOVE YOU!!
In Him,
E
