Birthday party!
Saturday was fun – daughter #2 is officially one year old as of today so we had her party this weekend. It was really a good excuse to invite all of our friends over and if they wanted to bring their kids they were more than welcome to do that :)
Emmy is a big fan of music so we went with a music theme for her party – my wife did a music cake, we had lots of music toys for kids to play with and we did some good decorating. Lots of fun.

We haven’t got a big house (I know that you’re thinking us worship guys get paid the big bucks!) so it was fun cramming about 20 adults and 10 kids in our living room and kitchen – nothing like a little proximity to encourage some good conversation!
Avery was a very helpful big sister and did what she could to encourage the present-opening process!

And then it was time for cake! Here’s the mandatory photo -

Happy birthday Emerson Paige! I can’t believe it’s already been a year – wow! Your mom and I are so blessed to have you in our lives and we are so thankful that God has given you to us. You are a precious girl with a quiet, tender spirit. I love every moment I get to spend with you and I’m looking forward to many, many more birthday parties!
Thanks for stopping by the blog. I'm currently on sabbatical this summer - you can read more about my sabbatical here: Personal Update - What's Next
Since I'm away from the blog I've decided to close comments. I love the interaction and discussion that happens with readers and since I'm not able to do that this summer, I'll be very much looking forward to that when I return in August.
