Birthday Boy

Our sweet birthday boy had a fun day today!  Daddy came home and brought him to McDonald's for a special lunch.  He was still a bit confused about how we already had his party...he wanted another pinata and party and cake!  We ended up going out for dinner too.  This photo is of him in front of the restaurant eating a peanut.  He has his boots on the wrong feet, and a birthday crown, and I could hardly get him to stop moving for an instant to take his picture!

I failed to mention that my mom shares a birthday with Steven Joseph, so I also wish a belated Happy Birthday to NeNe!  My dad's birthday was earlier this month too, Happy Belated Birthday, PaPa!  We look forward to sharing Christmas with you!

Finally, I'd like to ask for prayers here in the middle of the night.  The 3rd child is down for the count with a tummy bug.  We'd love to make it up to see our families for Christmas if we are all well.  Please pray for healthy tummies.  And if you could spare a prayer to find renters for our house, that would be great too!  We are really hoping to have it rented by the end of the year.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph...Holy Family who knows the struggles of family life, pray for us!
