Celebrating Mission Team Birthdays

Here's Noelle at about 7 weeks. When she was little, she loved to snuggle up on people. She regularly fell asleep in my arms.

My little snuggler just turned one last weekend. We had a party with the mission team, and actually celebrated Noelle's birthday and three others - Mike, Andrew, and Marlene, all of whom have birthdays in late October and early November.

We grilled steak and had a blast. I made a cake for the adults and cupcakes for Noelle. Here she is enjoying hers...(I don't have pictures of the others that celebrated their birthdays, sorry. I guess they didn't smash up their cake with their hands and smear it all over themselves or do something similar that drew my camera to them!).


She may be my big 20-pound girl now, but she still loves to snuggle.

Ana is 20 pounds and is almost 7 months. What petite girls you have! Can't wait for the new series!

Aw, they all grow at their own rates! Trinity is super tall for her age - already in 3T pants (she turns 3 next February). Everyone here thinks she's at least 3 or 4 when they see her. Then she starts throwing a fit like a two year old and they wonder... :)
Hope your girls are doing well and staying healthy!
