My dear husband (very fondly aka "Daddy") turned 40 this weekend. He was greatly encouraged by a surprise fishing trip with some of his closest friends and men from Pathway Bible Church - oh and Micaiah too. Then on Sunday we celebrated with a BBQ at the park. I constantly give thanks and praise to God for allowing me to have such a such a partner in life who loves God and his family so deeply.
We were able to enjoy Kari as an infant for about 1 month :). Ever since then she's been going full steam towards being a toddler (or an adult). I think it's the siblings. Whatever they eat, she wants to eat. Whatever they do, she wants to do. This week she turned 18 month and has been with us for 6 months. What a joy she is to us! On Tuesday morning, Lydia was supposed to be doing her chore - emptying the dishwasher. In typical Chau-kid fashion, she declared "I have to go to the bathroom". Ha. All my kids use that one. They conveniently need to go to the bathroom EVERYTIME there is a chore to do. Anyways, Kari decided Lydia was taking to long, so she took over. (This is a 1 minute video, if you want to have a look). I kind of wish she could stay a baby just a little longer, but that doesn't seem to be on her agenda.
My younger brother's birthday is Feb. 27. The kids adore their Uncle Eric (maybe it's because he's way cooler than their mother and is a rock star?) . Mimi is the Craft Queen, so she found this craft to make a cardboard guitar from Family Fun Magazine (the perfect magazine for a Craft Queen). We're always really encouraged by her heart to give. She spends hours making things for people. We pray that her heart for giving to others will continue as she matures.
BTW - Eric has a gig next week with Delirious and I'm super proud of him!
