birthday celebrations

We were out tonight quietly celebrating Exaviers 8th birthday...
sadly the birthday girl will never be present at her parties!!

Took a few photos of Onjahlika and her sheep Woolsley!

The night was good! Nice meal! A few laughs!

So hard to believe that Exavier would be 8 today.

I was on the back yard earlier today taking pdotos of Onjahlika and the dogs, thinking of how I cant really celebrate Exaviers or Abiahs birthdays with them! It's not the same as it would be if they were present.

It's days like birthdays and Christmas when you realise just how much you miss two of three children!

Listening to Sons Of Korah... Blessed are those who dwell with you within your house, they give you praise. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who are pilgrims with hearts on a journey to you. As they pass through the desolate valley of weeping, they will make it all a place of springs, the autumn rains will also cover it. For the Lord is a sun and a shield around me and He showers his favour and honour upon me...(psalm 84:4 -6,11)
