These days I find it very hard to know what to write. We have to be careful what we say, and I just don't have words anyway, not to mention technical troubles. It seems like since I last wrote we've had about three days that felt good and normal, all three were kinds of holidays: Easter, end of school, and Raia's birthday. Since we're almost to our July birthday now, I'll post the pictures from our June birthday, which was one of those three special days.
So, first the preparations: Raia's friends actually came over on June 15, the day after her birthday. Before that I made a chocolate pie which Raia decorated beautifully, and our ducks both decided that they needed to have baths to be ready for company.

Then, on Sunday morning her friends also gave her flowers at church:
We all enjoyed the celebrations, and we love our 17-year-old!

Sobbing here...the war provides a stark contrast to the beauty of a "normal" celebration. We are thankful that Raia was able to enjoy a birthday of friends, food and fun...a day that indicates how much we all love her.
