On May 8th we celebrated Xavier's birthday two days early. We had a little get together with him at our home with a cousins party. I made him a race car cake that he seemed to like:)
We enjoyed watching him open presents, eat cake and ice cream and interact with family. Brandon and Jenni were able to come with Sophie, Britta, and Allegra. That was nice because I think Zavi really grew to love their family as he lived with them for three months.
We are grateful that John and Tarra (Zavi's foster parents) let us have them for the day. Xavier is learning more words and communicating better. He knows many animal sounds and is a happy child. He fits in very well with the Tippet Family and they really love him. He has his difficult moments but they are taking good care of him. We are still waiting to find out if he will be able to be adopted by the Tippet Family and will not know for another little while. We pray that he will to have stability in his life.
Haivyn turned SEVEN on the 9th. We celebrated two days later (on the 11th) at the soccer park in Tooele.
I made some bbq beef sandwiches, chips and the birthday cake while Kendra brought a salad to go along with the meal. The kids had a nice time playing on the park toys while the adults got to visit with each other.
Haivyn is a really good girl. She can tell me stories of Jesus and draw beautiful pictures of the things she's learned about Him. I wish I could get her to Primary each week. It is a little difficult seeing that Rick and I serve in the Singles Ward. We'll figure it out but in the meantime she is learning to love Jesus and that's really important at her age. Haivyn loves to play outside. It could be rain or shine (or snow) and she just wants to be outside playing! She plays well with her cousins and we are thankful that they have each other! We sure do love her!
