Hit the ground running...

Josiah turned five on Sunday. I am so thankful we were home for his birthday! If it wasn't for the July 4th holiday we would of been in Ethiopia this week. He has really been looking forward to his gymnastics birthday party. I knew that Monte, the girls and I would be exhausted, but it is his birthday. I couldn't say no! There were about 20 kids there and they had a blast.
My parents left this morning, so today was my first day on my own. I took the kids 45 minutes away to a doctors appointment that isn't until tomorrow. Or at least that is what they said. I KNOW I was told today. Oh well, I get to do it all again tomorrow... fun fun!
Here are some pictures of Josiah's party and of our princesses!








Chloe Desalech and the bike that Nana and Pappy bought her.

Hanna and her bike. The girls also have on their outfits from Dawn P. THANK YOU DAWN!!


The Alexander children at the 4H fair tonight. Wowzers is it hard to get them all to look at the camera at the same time. This is the best one!

Wow! You are at it already?! I'd still be in my bed suffering from jet lag.

Sorry about the Doctor appointment. I really think they should have just fit you in since you made the trek up there.

Are you up for some meals to come your way. I'm ready to set you up, my friend. I know there are many who would love to bless you with a hot meal.
