Guess who turned 11?

Yep, that's right!  Mikael turned 11 on February 18th!

 Yes, I made the cake but it was still edible!

Expectantly waiting to open his package!

Playmobil!  Ok, so he probably is a little old for this, but he absolutely loves it and plays with it constantly during his free-time.  My consolation is that he's at least trying to farm like he would in real life, and even have a family that he has to provide for.  It's good clean fun (except when he's cleaning manure out of the corral!).

Here he and Nathanael are at the pizza barn where Mikael chose to go for his birthday dinner.  That was good because I was completely worn out that night - surgery was still sapping my strength!

 

We're so proud of both our boys, how they have a love and compassion for others,
(not always each other, but we're working on that)
and that the Lord really is working in their lives,
redeeming the poor training we gave them in their formative years!
Thank You Lord for the blessings of our sons!
