Jaan's birthday

Yesterday was Jaan's birthday. It was a regular school day, too, and an insanely busy one. We didn't make Jaan do any school work, but he and Raia did have a music lesson. Their teacher's birthday was last week, so I got donuts for them to celebrate both her and Jaan.



Our other kids were going back and forth and all over, but Jaan came home from music school, and his friends started arriving. By dinner time everyone except Asya was here. Will cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Someone said that biting into a hamburger was so good that it was like "eating a cloud of meat." Everyone enjoyed the food and time together, and Asya finally arrived. Then Jaan opened presents, and there was ice cream by the fire.






It was a very good, happy day, and we're all so glad that Jaan was born to us many long years ago in Moscow.

...and his birth introduced us to grandparenting. Much has changed in those intervening years, but oh! how thankful we continue to be for Jaan (and for each of you). What a happy celebration this appears to be!
