It's been about a week since we've been able to blog. Things have been a flurry of activity around here! One exciting thing that has happened in the last couple of weeks has been Josiah's 3rd birthday! His day started with a big surprise! Scott had decided that the boy likes to dig so much, he needed a sandbox. Scott and a few Haitian workers cranked out a sandbox in no-time-flat and we gave it to Josiah as soon as he woke up. I think he loves it!

That's one happy birthday boy!

Later on that night, we were surprised and blessed by our missionary staff with a surprise party for Josiah! They had decorated the entire dining hall with balloons and banners. After we ate pizza together, we ate a birthday cake I had made for Josiah. Then, they even presented our little 3 year old man with a few gifts! After Josiah opened presents, all of the children went outside where they swung at a pinata made by our friends' eldest daughter, Naomi. They were studying Mexico in homeschool that week and Naomi decided that she wanted to do a pinata for her unit craft, just for Josiah's birthday! So sweet. We were completely humbled and thankful. It was a fun time!

| Even in Haiti, we can still crank out a birthday cake. Nothin' fancy, but it sure was tasty! |
