For Jaan!

You're five years old today! (Today for you, but I am probably still sleeping while you read this!)

You have had more adventures than most adults will have, and you are only 5 years old. I am so thankful that God has allowed us to have even a small part in your life. We're excited to see what God has planned for you! Your sisters are so blessed to have you as their big brother, to help Mama and Papa teach and guide them.


Here's a picture of Glenna and her new puppy, Missy. They made the sign for you:
They added suns because of our Florida sunshine. Glenna suggested that we eat brownies for your birthday. We may just have to do that.

So enjoy your first birthday in the Ukraine. I pray the Lord gives you many, many more, wherever your parents are serving Him! You are loved!

Wow! Thank you so much! Jaan loved it. We're very impressed with your Russian.

You know, I was going to make brownies for Jaan's birthday, but he was set on choosing a cake at the store. I'll have to make them "just because" soon. Oh, they can be in honor of you.

That was SO nice!! Isn't it great to have a way to communicate with our loved ones so far away? It made you all a big part of Jaan's big day!! In Him, Baba Julie
