Samuel's birthday was the day after we returned from Mexico. He told us he wanted to jump on the trampoline and check for eggs in the chicken pen with Grace (things he does almost every day!) He also (along with all his siblings) played legos in the morning.
Samuel didn't get any legos for his birthday but he did get a new Leapster game, a nerf football and some bubbles. The Fickers also gave him a cool cargo truck that they filled with plastic animals. He was very excited!
We have also added the Fickers' birthday tradition of dancing to the Beetles' birthday song to our celebration. It was an easy addition as my dad usually tries to sing "You say its your birthday na, na, na, na, na, na" to the kids on their birthday. Abi calls it the "Oh Ouch" dance or something as she jumps up and down saying, you guessed it, "Oh Ouch" while the song is playing.
Samuel asked for a chocolate cake and the girls said we had to put a five on it. It was a great party and yes, Sam did jump on the trampoline and search for eggs with Gracie.
The week since Samuel's birthday has gone very fast. When we returned from Mexico, Heidi and Isaac were here. Duane flew them to the city on Saturday and picked up our next three visitors who were staying for a week. Don had clinic on Saturday and a long one in San Andres on Sunday. Monday we started a study together called Emotional Healthy Spiritually along with our church in Omaha. Tuesday was another clinic day in Chiminisijuan. We have all committed to taking a Sabbath on Wednesday (which is something we all look forward to every week!) and Thursday was clinic in San Pedro (see Leslie's blog for an update). Yesterday we went to the Children's Home since we have not been there for almost 3 weeks (due to the clutch breaking, a trip to Mexico and clinic in the Zona Reina). And that brings us back to clinic today! Don has promised a clinic update soon but we aren't promising what day!! Have a great weekend - thanks for reading.
