Two Birthdays

Grandma planned the timing of her visit very well as we were able to celebrate two birthdays while she was with us.

Elaina turned 10 and Deanna, 4.

We had a great time celebrating Elaina's birthday with Grandma and some friends who came over for dinner that evening. We are so grateful to God for making Elaina so healthy and strong after weighing only 1lb 6oz at birth.



We celebrated Deanna's birthday by going swimming at Doncaster Dome (a large leisure facility not too far from here). The local homeschool had organized a swimming trip there. We had a great time riding on the slides and even swimming outside!!! Yes, outside in England during the month of October does work if the water is heated well - which it was!!

Deanna has such a strong, confident personality that she rarely meets a stranger and she is never shy to express her opinion!! Again, it's amazing where the years have gone. How can our baby now be 4?

But will she be our baby for much longer - God has planned to grow our family again!!

Details to follow in a few days!!!
