Caleb's Birthday







Caleb turned 6 on Friday, March 24th. It was his 3rd birthday here in Africa. He seemed to enjoy the day and the day following – that was his party. The day started early as he opened his presents from us right after he woke up. We also told him that he had 250 Rand (about $40) from various grandparents, SS classes, and other churches. He was excited about that as he knew that we would be going to ToysRus in Johannesburg in a couple of days. Jody took cup cakes to his school for his classmates and teachers.
On Saturday, 2 missionary families from Gaborone, Botswana, came for his party. Also, a friend of the family came with one of their sons. As you can see in the pictures, we were able to rent a jumping-castle. It was supposed to be at the house by 9:00 am, but when we awoke it was cloudy and it had rained. The castle was here by 10:00 am and they didn’t get off until late in the afternoon. Needless to say, they all had a good time. It was also a good time for the adults to visit and catch up on the last three months.
