Joella is 2!!

Yes! Lots of birthdays in our family recently!! Jonathan is now 1 month old, Daniella is 5, an Joella just turned 2 yesterday! We had a little celebration with everyone at home and she was very happy!

Daniella is Five!!

Daniella turned five today and we had quite the celebration with her classmates at school! Joel and I made quite the scene of rushing around town WITH Nathan and Joella trying to get all the necessary things for a wonderful school birthday. Annie kept checking in with us by phone to make sure we were getting teh proper things, since she had to be home with Jonathan. Daniella has been talking about having her birthday at school pretty much since the day she started school and realized this was a possibility--and I think she was one pretty happy five year old!

Visitors

This morning a few American friends visted my church! It is always fun to have people visiting because it makes it even more clear to me how at home I feel at church. It is great because anyone who shows up who is white is automatically "Alyssa's Visitor"--whether I know them or not!

I decided to sit with them in the service nstead of going to be with the kids and I realized how much I do love being with the kids every week! I missed them!!
