Lucas celebrated his 4th birthday on July 8 which was about one week after we arrived. We had him open his presents from us after breakfast. His ‘big” gift was a new bike since we’d left a few of his “big” toys in Dakar. They just wouldn’t fit in a suitcase. Anyway, I realized I haven’t yet taken a picture of it but he sure loves it. We also planned a pizza party in the evening for him. We invited 5 other couples that he knows really well. 3 of the couples he knew from Dakar so it was special to have people he was familiar with. The biggest blessing was finding a Spiderman cupcake mix complete with the muffin cup, icing and sprinkles. I almost cried with relief in the store when I found it and would definitely declare it as a “Praise God” moment.
It is fun to see how our kids have grown in the last few months. Lucas is now very into superheroes and “flies” around our house in his Batman pjs. His job is to save the Princess (Alexis). To help Alexis play her part we bought her a Cinderella nightgown. She loves to decide if Lucas is protecting Belle, Cinderella or White Snow (aka Snow White). *Be warned; you can only shoot fire from your arm if you have a cape on!
