Joshua Turns 9!

Happy Birthday Joshua!  Each birthday has been special here in Geneva and this one was no exception as Nana and Papa were able to be here to help Joshua celebrate.  Last week we took in cupcakes to his class mates before they let out for Spring Break.  Then, on his actual birthday, we went bowling in the afternoon and Geof surprised us and came over with us for a little while.  We had cookie cake after dinner and Josh got some great gifts.  We are so proud of what an amazing young man Joshua is.  He works hard all the time at whatever he is doing and never gives up.  He is caring and thoughtful and is always ready to have fun.  He has done beautifully this year at the international school even though it has been a challenge and he misses home.  Josh has turned into a great reader, a super speller, and is still a whiz at math.  At home, if he is not asleep, he is bouncing a basketball or running in the yard.  He is growing up to be a young man of strong character and determination and we can't wait to see the awesome plans God has for his life.  We love you Josh and are so thankful you are our son!

Fun times, you didn't get a picture of Kami twirling before she bowled - so funny. Your children are growing up, hard to believe Joshie is 9, where does the time go? We sure enjoyed being there to celebrate with him. Love you all!
