The First Year Has Flown By


Happy 1st Birthday to Caleb! We praise God for our little man!
We ordered this cake from the local grocery store and brought it to church to celebrate his big day with our church family.

Although we didn't know this when we ordered the cake, it was also Lian's 5th birthday, so we sang to her too! Her mom is holding Caleb. (Birthdays are not usually celebrated here. Many people in PNG do not know how old they are or when their birthday is!)

Ready to try a bite of cake!

"Even better with icing on my face!"

Then in the afternoon, we joined up with a few friends. This is our friend, Corrinne--she and her husband have been in PNG for over 50 years and are working on translating the Bible into a tribal language, which they hope to finish later this year. We got together to celebrate her birthday too--she's 80 years older than Caleb! The cakes worked well together.

Happy birthday little man, I cant believe its been a year since I first saw you on Magnolia - in fact in my mind I can still see you with your mummy nearby.
How neat that you got to celebrate your birthday with such special and wonderful people. Lots of love Caleb,
Joyce and Ryan
