Party Time

Jenny and I often joke that we are either planning an event, hosting an event, or cleaning up for an event! While we say it jokingly, there is a lot of truth in that statement. I guess when you have a family the size of H2H, there are a lot of things to celebrate! This year, Jenny had an extended furlough so I found myself facing the events of February and March without my handy sidekick! I will admit that I missed, especially when it came to cake baking, but I made it! The first event was Sandel's ordination! Sandel has been pastoring a church in the Bucuresti area for almost a year, but the formal ordination was held in February. It was a day of celebration and recognizing God's hand upon Sandel's life and his choice to enter the ministry. We could not be prouder! Karla turned 4! It is hard for me to fathom. She is all about Peppa Pig right now and I was able to pull off a piggy cake, much to her delight. She is so smart and sweet and full of courage and life. Her vocabulary in both English and Romanian is amazing and she makes me laugh. Karla's birthday was followed by my own! I mentioned to a few of the kids that they were welcome to come over for lunch after church. About 30 people showed up, so it was a bit bigger of an affair then I expected! I was very well celebrated! I celebrated as well with my birthday twin, Fernando. He turned 16! Each year we take a picture and he gets a big chocolate bar. It is a special connection! We wrapped up this season with Eric's first birthday! He is a very sweet boy. He is pretty calm and laid back for the most part. He loves the song "baby shark" so we had an ocean party with fishing for prizes. The kids were thrilled and it was a fun day! Lots more celebrating to come as we have two weddings of our graduates next month. Life if full!
