Timothy Turns Five

Yesterday, our little Timmy turned 5!:) Here he is in Daddy's new car, ready to go to church.

 Timmy got a bike for his birthday, which Daddy assembled for him.  Dad has lots of fond memories of riding around on one of these Big Wheels.

 Offering advice.....;)

 Waiting is always harder when you're younger. It's hard to learn patience, but it's good practice.:)

Timmy finally got to enjoy his bike!:) Here is a classic example of how brothers work together to share and have fun.:)

 Mom thought Joshua looked like Timmy's mechanic fixing his  car so Timmy could race!

 After evening service, the Berlins who are visiting from Alaska, came over for dinner! They helped us celebrate Timmy's birthday and we had a great time!:)

singing to Timothy....:)

 He requested a banana cake which Mommy made with walnuts, Reese's pieces and cream cheese frosting.:)

 Happy Birthday, Timothy!:)

 Timothy loves to blow out candles, so he especially enjoyed that part.:)

 This picture is almost a peek into the future......one day Timmy, Lord willing, will be a grown man and we all suspect he'll look similar to Daddy.:)

 The little boys really enjoyed talking with Mr. and Mrs. Berlin.:)

 Jacob and Jerusalem are going to be missionaries in another country and we enjoyed hearing about that from them. Jacob also gave a report on it at evening service before coming to our house, but I was the only family member who got to hear it, so he kindly brought some books and pictures to share with the family.:)

  Jerusalem, who is expecting a little boy, looking through pictures and talking with Mom.

 Something funny happened here, but I don't actually know what was being said.:)

 I especially enjoyed meeting Jacob, as he and Jerusalem had gotten married after I met her in 2011. We had a lot of fun talking, and figured out that some of our friends know their friends!  It's really true what they say-it's a small world out there!:)

 Here we all took a group picture-the older boys didn't make it to dinner as they were helping Aunt Adriana move earlier in the afternoon but, they were able to get home and meet the Berlins which was really nice.

 Now one with Daddy.

Jerusalem and I enjoyed getting to see each other again. It had been about 2 years since I we met and the Lord just opened the door to have them over to visit and meet the family.:) 

Back to our Timmy-man. He is growing up so fast. I know I'm always saying that but it's true. One minute they are laying in the crib, the next, they're heading out of the home to follow the Lord's calling. It's a sobering reminder that we should treasure our time with our siblings and family. The Lord has ways of changing our courses when we don't expect it.  We are encouraged to see in Timothy an understanding of obeying the Lord and doing what he says. We continue to pray that the Lord will help him to become a godly man! We love our little guy and we are excited to see how the Lord will bless him!
