Unbelievable that Gavin turned six on Wednesday!! What a year it has been for him. He has grown (physically and socially/emotionally) SO MUCH. God is shaping him into such a neat little man. He still has his sweet, tender heart, but he grows more into a warrior every day. He is loving everything boy! And Daddy is having a great time introducing him to many new adventures.
For his birthday, his Uncle Scott and Papa got him some model rockets. At first, he didn't have any idea what they would actually do. After school on his birthday we went out to launch one, and WOW! He had a blast! (Pun intended!) Here are some pics from his big day.

Trying to catch the falling rocket was half the fun!

Tonight we will have a full-on Birthday Party with friends from school. Gavin's never really had a Birthday Party before, so he can't wait. He's taking his best little friends to see "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and then dinner at Pizza Hut. He really couldn't ask for a more perfect day.
I know this entry is a little late, and it might be the last one until we return to Bologna. We are busy taking care of all the last minute details we need to get done in order to return. And trying to rest and enjoy the Holidays at the same time. We fly back on January 3 and would covet your prayers for our trip and our re-entry.
Merry Christmas to everyone! Our hearts are filled with thanksgiving over the little baby whose birth we celebrate and who we are so privileged to proclaim.
