a day without us
Kidding…sort of…
We gave Mark a retreat basket and permission to go away for a day by himself. He got lots of goodies in there that he likes like cashews, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Peligrino, and caramels. Then, he got a couple good thinking books, a notebook, a pen, a sealed envelope with notes from the kids to read when he’s away, and a cool paperweight from Dos Besitos with a map of Baoji and Xi’an (where Lydia is from and where we were to get her).
Happy birthday, Mark. Thank you for your commitment to growing in Him. Know that I support you 100% in that–even when it means time away from us or from helping me with the parenting duties. Thank you for being a godly leader in our home.
So sweet! Not sure what to do about getting more families on the Ethiopia forum! I think it may just be that people are so busy, and they are already keeping up with blogs. Also, AGCI has a list serve for their Ethiopia families where we all chat. But I love the forum on We are Grafted In! Such a neat thing!!
What an awesome and thoughtful gift. I’m gonna have to steal that idea one of these days. :)
You are the best wife EVER!!! What a thoughtful gift!! And I totally have Dos Besitos bookmarked!
Awesome! Thank you so much for supporting our adoption and for “advertising” for us! :) Of course all of them count! THANK YOU!!! I’m excited to follow along on your blog as well. :)
Happy Birthday, Mark. Great idea Kelly
Great gift! Happy birthday, Mark!
