Charlene's Birthday!

As many of our family as could went to Feed My Starving Children last night in honor of Charlene's Birthday.

#1 Making packets of food, using chicken flavoring with vitamins, dried veggies, soy, and rice.

#2 Jennifer (Mick) sealed each bag.

#3 Mike and Gypsy held and weighed the bags while the kids loaded them.

#4 And Charlene, still recovering, took a job with a seat, putting the labels on the bags.

We all had a great time and the kids are already asking when we can go again.

Alex's 17th

Here are a few pictures from Alex's birthday. I have more and will post some of them as soon as I find the other camera. The one that that didn't quit on us has turned up missing. ["Turned up missing." There's an interesting phrase.] You can see who showed up in the middle of everything. But I do have more pix of Al, like blowing out candles and stuff. For real.














Magalie taste testing the BD cake icing.















Helping Uncle Mike read his book.















Jamming with Matt and Alex.

















And showing Matt a new chord.

More Pictures From Magalie's Birthday Parties

I lost count of all the celebrations of Magalie's 3rd birthday. Here are some more pictures:

Magalie's Birthday!

Happy third birthday to Princess Magalie Toussaint! She's had two parties already and another is planned for today. The first was a party for six birthdays in our family in January (including hers). The second was Sunday morning between the worship service and class. This morning she and Charlene started opening the ton of BD cards she got from people in Texas and now they are off to ladies class at Woodbury. We are planning a Chinese buffett dinner this evening followed by the singing at the vets' home.
