Asya's birthday

Asya's birthday fell on a Sunday, too, so it turned out like Jaan's: full, happy, and stretched out over several days. On the Friday before her birthday she and I went to the Agape birthday party for the kids at the orphanage. That wasn't to celebrate her, but it was fun, and she got to see some of her friends there.

Then, on Sunday, after church she and I went to the art school birthday celebration. It was for all the September birthdays, but--just like last year--it was actually on her special day. Here are a few photos from that:








(Almost all those photos are from one of the art school teachers.)

Right after that party, Asya and I joined the rest of our family at North American Fellowship, and we also sang happy birthday to Asya there:


Then, again, like last year, a few days later we went to Jump Park to celebrate Asya's birthday for real. We jumped and climbed and ran and rode and went to classes until we were exhausted. Then we had dinner at a nice restaurant and came home happy and done with birthdays for the year.


When she heard them congratulating
her and singing to her over the loudspeakers
