Jim’s birthday was this week. We love him deeply.

What do you do in lieu of birthday pancakes for someone who has cut out sugar from his diet?

A birthday omelet…made fresh by Peter.

The candles–which were arranged in two groups of four–were blown out with help from Ruthie.

Later that night, while we watched the NCAA basketball championship game, Peter again came through with a birthday cake (this time the birthday boy splurged and had some sugar).

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours. (Psalm 128)
