Curious George Party

We were so blessed to have our friends throw Leighton a birthday party too. The Lord provided so much to us through this celebration including wonderful gifts, a reminder of the great fellowship we have with our friends, and a new found appreciation for Curious George.

The balloons were a hit for Leighton ...

...and though he did not get to eat his cake, the cake was a hit for the guests! Have you ever seen a cake like this?

Thank you so much ladies of the 32nd street house for planning, decorating and preparing this celebration for us. We are so thankful to have so many people rejoice with us over Leighton's life. I am constantly humbled to be among such servants for Christ, such faithful men and women who seek to honor others above themselves, and such great companions in reaching this city of Des Moines. And Luke and I aren't just thankful for the stuff, the laughter, and for this party, but we are additionally and constantly thankful because these men and women are so involved in our lives, are committed to us and to the great commission, and who daily set such a example in their generosity, compassion, love, service, attitude, and character.

Many praises to our good Lord in heaven as well, for his provision of so many blessings, friendships, and gifts through these amazing people. The Lord was faithful and good in giving us more than we deserve.

We really can't express our gratitude towards our friends and family, and our adoration for our Savior.

Leighton's 1st Birthday

We had a wonderful birthday at grandma and grandpa Hukee's house. Leighton loved playing with the Balloons and he loved all of his gifts.




He also loved eating his cake and those amazing pictures are to come!
