"Today is the oldest you have been, and the youngest you will ever be. Make the most of it!"
-Nicky Gumbel
Ashlyn celebrated her 11th birthday this week. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from having a birthday gathering for Ashlyn, so we setup a scavenger hunt similar to what we did for James and Isla. The clues were harder to solve, but Ashlyn successfully solved each puzzle and had fun opening gifts along the way.
We paused the birthday celebrations for a soccer game, where James continued to show improvement as he learns and improves his skills. He’s been asking for extra practices and his wish was granted. Starting next week he will be practicing three nights a week so we should see even more faster improvement.
After Ashlyn’s requested steak dinner, it was time for cake and candles. The family sang happy birthday, Ashlyn blew out the candles, and everyone enjoyed a birthday dessert as we wrapped up another birthday weekend. Happy birthday Ashlyn!!
