Today is Joshua’s birthday and I’m sure he’d love to see a little bday message here since he’s not really into facebook or other social networking sites! Babe – you are an incredible blessing to us all. Thank you! We love you more then we can say.
Yesterday the kids and I painted a Happy Birthday sign and made a family birthday plate. Today daddy had to wait upstairs until breakfast was ready and then got to come down to his “surprise” breakfast! The kids were hilarious, we had to go over and over yesterday that there was no telling daddy, and no showing daddy what we had done in the afternoon. Tigist got it and was all about the surprise, but Fikadu could hardly contain himself! As soon as Josh walked in the door he said, “Daddy, zahray (today) no talking, no looking, ha ha ha, giggle giggle, Fikadu no telling!” Tigist about jumped on him and was like, “Fikadu, ssssshhhhhhhhhh! NO TALKING!” Hilarious! Here’s a few fun photos. . .

Our Fun-filled day finished up with the following activities. Daddy, really wanted to ride the train today for his birthday! (wink wink)
Feeding the Geese . . . err, uhm, or trying to spear it with a stick. “This one yummy mommy? This one food for family?” -Fikadu


Picnic at the park

Riding the train. . . toot toot!



We finished the evening out with homemade Ethiopian food as Daddy’s requested birthday meal



Happy Birthday Joshua . . . We Love You SOOOOOOOOOO Much!
