Yesterday was Joshua's birthday (oh! I love that man!). We spent the morning in Tafalla - - a town nearby where some friends are church planting. Joshua had been invited to preach. This (above) was my attempt at bagels to take to share with the church in Tafalla. they turned out not-too-bagelish, but were good smeared with cream cheese regardless.
in the afternoon we invited some friends Jaime and Miriam over for some birthday fondue. Fondue is particularly fun with people who have never experienced the fondue revolution before; they were skeptical at first but were won over in no time at all!
Happy birthday Joshua! I am thrilled and pleased to live life with you; your passion for God and life enriches me, our family, our church and our world!

Oh - and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!!

Wish you were here to celebrate. You'd get the birthday spanking of your life. We collect designer fraternity paddles.

For your birthday present, I was considering giving you a subscription to <>this new journal, which looks fantizzy.

You will have to show me how to do fondue the next time you are here because I have TWO fondue sets I have never used!

The fondue looks delicious and the apples are perfect! Naomi you are such a wonderful wife to Joshua. What happened to Joshua's face (are those "sideburns" or a beard?
Now I understand Malachai's drawing!

Love,

Mom
