Happy Birthday, Katie!

Katie has now officially become a 15 year old! She is having a little different birthday this year as we are quite a ways away from family and friends. She still had many gifts to open this morning and has been enjoying checking facebook for many birthday greetings from family and friends.
This is also our last Sunday in Pella. We had a wonderful potluck and send-off after the morning service. They presented us with a very generous gift and some ladies from the church made special quilts for each of the kids. (They began making these after we arrived and finished all three in 10 weeks time!) We felt very blessed and recieved many words of thanks for Scott's work here this summer...Now off to vacation!

Katie and her birthday gifts.
The kids are displaying their quilts. They were pretty excited about them.
