Our first two family birthdays for the year are Maren and Jason's. It is always special to make the treck over to celebrate with them.
This year Jason's grandpa got in on Maren's birthday soon after moving to a local nursing home from out of state.
Remember what I recently wrote about needing to cook large amounts? For this meal we filled the stove, an extra induction burner, and the Instant Pot! What fun to pull Maren's special Russian china out of the old buffet we grew up with at the lake cabin.
Just a few weeks later comes Jason's birthday. But since we were out of state at the time, he let us come and celebrate a little late.
Party activities included sharing stories and pictures from Florida and taking care of Maren, because (drum roll, please)...
... by this time we were looking forward to a new family birthday -- a baby in November! We praise God for this answer to much prayer and continue to pray for Mama Maren and the little one we are waiting to meet.
Thankfully Maren is past a difficult couple months of 24-hour "morning" sickness and has quit losing weight as food is usually tasting better again. And thankfully this week is cooler than the past which was over 100 degrees in the greenhouses - severely taxing both the new mama and papa every day.
