We were so blessed to not only have Aunt Mabe with us for Zach's birthday, but our friends the Christensens were visitng from Haiti. John was able to bring Caleb and Nathan. Jenny was up north with David to drop him off at camp. And on short notice the neighbor boys, Andrew and Levi, joined us. It was a small get together without gifts. friends and family were enough.
Aunt Mabe gave him an art book teaching how to draw Japanese cartoons and Matt got him a Farside comic book. Few weeks later while in Walmart he finally used his birthday money to buy Heroica Lego game. I helped pay for some of it as my birthday gift. Happy 12th Zach! Your child hood days are quickly coming to a close. I have joy in seeing you grow and sorrow in the knowledge you will leave one day to start your life as an adult. I'm convinced this is why The Lord gives us a much longer time with our children than any other animal. He knows what it is like to watch a child leave the nest. What grace He gives us parents.
