Roy's parents begin their 2-year humanitarian mission to Amman, Jordan tomorrow. We are so excited for and proud of them! They will do so much good in a place and for people who really need an infusion of goodness and love. This has been something they have talked about since I met them and I am so excited for them that their dream is now their reality! We went up to see them and say goodbye a few weekends ago and got to meet up with 3 of the cousins. The cousins are all so fun and I'm grateful that my kids get to be part of this happy crew.
Group hug! This is now becoming a tradition for big events :)
We did a very merry unbirthday party to make up for a couple years of missed parties. We didn't go all out because I only have so much energy after throwing an Abby party and gearing up for a Sam party, but we did have a blast going bowling, eating Hawaiian haystacks, and having all the kids blow out candles on their brownies. And we HAD to go boys vs girls (plus Roy). I must document that the girls won, but it was Lydia with the decisive victory points who won the day.
Also, Nora ate her first piece of bacon this weekend. That's a pretty big deal too :)
We are thrilled to have grandparents going on a mission. We will miss having them around, but I know that is exactly what they should be doing with their time, energy, and love.
