We celebrated Ben’s first birthday with him on Saturday. It was a fun day of friends and family at James’ and Carolanne’s place. Ben seemed to really enjoy all the attention and all the people.
We also took a short video of Ben and his cousins with his birthday cake.
We had the privilege of meeting Simon for the first time this past several weeks. I guess I don’t have to describe what Simon’s relationship is to our family…
We had a great time together (though I had to be away for part of the time and then was sick for the past week!! sigh!!). He is now back in Thailand where he serves the Lord in a soccer ministry (he calls it football) under the auspices of OMF International.
