Chris's 25th and Papa's 50th Birthday

I haven't updated our blog in almost a month and quite a bit has happened. We have lots of fun pictures, so I'll let them do most of the talking....

Chris's 25th Birthday:
The festivities for the day began with German pancakes for breakfast. Chris woke Mark up for the occasion. Chris's gift was money for a grill. Both sides of the family contributed to the grill fund. ---He will get to shop for one when we move into a house--- fun, fun!! The evening ended with dinner and (of course) cheesecake....yum!!




Papa's 50th Birthday:
We had a wonderful time celebrating Papa's 50th birthday. It was good to reflect on the godly example and leader he is for our family. Our weekend filled with lots of love and laughter. We certainly missed Aunt Molly, but it was good that Mark's cousins (Olivia, Annabella, and Calvin) got to spend time with her!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
