Leon Founding Update

I mentioned last week that we were going to celebrate Leon's birthday with a cake.

Here's the result:


It was a family effort - Trin and I baked the cake and made the frosting, and then we all decorated it together (except Hans, unless taking it all in from his perch in the high chair counts as participation, which perhaps it does if you're six months old and have no teeth and very little hand coordination).

After the decorating, we sang and then...



After which we dug in, of course! Today all that remains of the lion cake are a few bits of tongue, nose, and mane.

In other news, the Synodical Council for the Mexican Lutheran Church is meeting here in Leon this week. Mike's been involved in this, and I'll be posting updates from the meetings, as well as happenings in Mexican congregations, in the coming posts.
