Clara turned 3!

We are a little late posting about the girls’ birthdays.

On June 1^st Clara turned 3. If you ask her how old she is she might still say 2. Hopefully she will remember she is 3 by the time her next birthday comes! We had a really nice day celebrating. All the grandparents got to wish Clara a happy birthday over skype! In the morning we had a little birthday party for her at the park with some of her friends. We had snacks and the most important food – cupcakes! In the evening we went to a play put on by the grade 12 students’ parents. 

Macy turned 1!

Macy turned 1 on July 6^th! We cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. She is still a petite little girl so we still call her our little baby! She is cruising around furniture and once in a while will stand on her own. She is not too daring so we do not think she will walk for a while yet. She is a real mommy’s girl and does not like to be far away from mom. She does however love to be with our Haus Meri who we call Mama. Mama treats Macy and Clara like her grandchildren! 

Surprise Mail

We go to the mail almost every day. Sometimes Jon and I both go on the same day. Most days we open the mail box only to find a housing bill or an empty box. But this week we were surprised with 2 packages! Jon came home with a birthday package from my parents – DROPIES! I am not allowed to eat them without his permission though. The second packages was a really big package from our home church. It had lots of nice cards, pictures, letters and some gifts for us and the girls. Thank you so much to all who sent us the package! And we are still waiting for a birthday package from Jon’s parents. Jon’s birthday is on August 14^th which is the day we start POC.
