Happy Birthday, Matthias! (plus a few pictures of the girls)

Yesterday, Matthias turned 11! :) We celebrated Saturday night with my parents & brother: Of course, I forgot to get a picture of Matthias with them. :/ Legos were the theme (specifically Star Wars this year, though none of the children have seen the movies) & we enjoyed this yummy recipe for apple crisp.

The boys enjoyed bike riding with Eric Sunday evening while I let the girls play at the park. Phew! It was busy & I only attempted a few pictures of the girls when they had 5 minutes alone in the little toy house:

Happy birthday, Matthias! We love you & praise God for granting you another year of health. We pray your love for God will continue to grow this year.
