Aiden's 5th Birthday Party

We had Aiden's Birthday party this past weekend and it was
so much fun.  We had it at the YMCA.  They pretty much
did everything for us!  (I felt like I cheated a little)  We invited
several of Aiden's little friends from playgroup, church and of
course his cousins.  We had pizza, chips, punch and cake. The
party theme was Spiderman.  The kiddos enjoyed playing on
the giant inflatable and the adults enjoyed just "hanging out". 
There were 34 people in attendance.  Aiden got lots of nice
gifts and felt very special!  It is hard to believe that he is 5
 years old already!  Where does the time go??

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!


5 years ago, a baby boy was found at the back door of a hospital in
Chongqing, China.  He was wearing only a thin, t-shirt and was
wrapped in a thin blanket. He weighed 8 lbs and 5 ozs. A nurse
heard a baby crying loudly and soon found the most precious little
bundle at the back door.  I've often wondered if his birth mom was
waiting in the bushes or somewhere out of sight making sure he
was found safely.  I'm sure the decision she was forced to make
was horrible for her!  I pray that God gives her peace.  In the darkness
of that cold night, God was watching his plan unfold.  I am so
humbled to have been a part of His plan.  Aiden has been such
a blessing to our family that it is hard to comprehend what it would
be like without him.  I am VERY thankful to God for my
sweet little boy!  Happy Birthday Aiden - you are treasured!
