HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!

Its Andrew's birthday he is 9 today, May 8th and we are so excited!....

I can't wait..."Where's my presents! Where's my presents!".....

OK, someone better get the presents...QUICK!!

Thanks everyone...these are great, I wasn't really going to hurt anyone...you knew that!!

Love the shirt...LEGO my favourite,

....the animals

and wait for it....Lego, now there's a surprise!!!

Now for breakfast.... I get to pick,

now that's what I call pancakes!! Thanks Mum.

Just in case anyone doesn't know....Andrew loves LEGO, so I decided to make him a Lego brick for his cake this year. Lois decorated it. Thanks, Lois.

In the evening we went out to Red Robin for a birthday meal with the family...

We had a tower of onion rings to share.

I enjoyed being with my family....

Last but not least I got a special ice cream treat as a gift from the restaurant.

I even got a special song....


After we went home Andrew got to blow out his candles and have some cake....

It was a great day!! We love you son.
We pray you will "..seek, serve and follow Christ"

Lois is 15!

Lois is 15...

Lois was 15 on Wednesday but she is having her party tonight. She is having a few friends over for dinner. She requested her favorite...Shepherd's Pie! ( Alison Richard's, previously Alderton, recipe ) So...the cake is in the freezer, Ice Cream Cake as she is allergic to eggs, the Shepherd's Pie is half way done and all the favors are completed. I'll take a picture of the cake later and post it . It is an easy and simple idea yet special if anyone has kids with allergies.

Well I'll finish this post off later when I have some pictures of the big event.

However, I would like to add that her Dad and I are very thankful to God and feel very blessed to have a daughter that at this age shows no signs of rebellion in her heart either towards God or her parents. She is a joy to be with and is very conscientious in everything she does. ( Apart from maybe keeping her room clean!!)

Lois, we love you very much and hope you will enjoy your party.

Love Mum and Dad
