First Month of Firsts....

After being back in Cambodia for our FIRST month of our second year, we have had some cool FIRSTS...

Our FIRST Khmer birthday celebration. Our neighbors invited us to their son's one month birthday party (right next door). Below are two pics of the tent they put up and chairs. The tent is set up in their front patio, usually Cambodians put it up in the street.
As you can see below, some of the tables are set up in the street, with enough room for the cars to get by of course. :) That's me right by the gate. We stayed for a bit. Oh my, it's been going on since 6 p.m., and the music has just started (it's 8:30 pm).

Another FIRST was our first girl sweet 16 birthday party :) Moriah, our house daughter, turned 16 on Sept. 3 (same birthday as our son who turned 24)! Her parents who live about 4 - 5 hrs away came and helped plan the birthday surprise party, along with some help from a couple families! The whole 11th grade class was invited (although they didn't all show up) and they kept it a secret from her!! Amazing.

Below is Caleb, Moriah's little brother.

and here's the birthday girl :)

This is not a first, but we found out last weekend that we have a third grandchild on the way (from Josh & Erica)!!! Yay! :)

It's been a great first month back!
