Kaleb's 8 years old!

Aren't birthdays fun? In our family we love the opportunity to shower special things on one person! For Kaleb's birthday we all went to play badminton, had his favorite meal for lunch (pigs in a blanket), and made pancakes for breakfast. I think that being able to choose fun things and do what you want could quickly become a habit at 8:)!

This year Kaleb got his first Bible for his birthday! Not being able to shop for Bibles here, we had ordered one from the US -- what a relief to find out it was exactly what we had wanted! The words are simple enough that Kaleb can read it to himself and the print is a good size for an 8-year-old:)!

I've always looked forward to decorating cakes for my boys since it is something I enjoy doing. However, each year one of their requests is that they can make their own cake! Since we had invited quite a few people to share Kaleb's birthday with us, this year Kaleb decorated a cake and Kevin decorated another. Each was a great masterpiece and rather tasty!

Besides celebrating Kaleb's birthday, Garry did a flight up north on the 15th. He was glad to be able to use 660 for the flight. Unfortunately, it soon became apparent that the airspeed indicator was not working properly. When he got a chance to look at it he found a bug in the air hose. After a sigh of relief he took it for another test flight. The engine was not developing the power it should, so the cowling needed to come off-- again! We'll have to finish that story next time... but we will all be thrilled when Garry takes 660 flying and comes home without finding any issues!
