Birthday Party Day!



Josh turns 10 years old on Tuesday,
but since we have the trip to Chicago next weekend,
we went ahead and threw him a party today.



We had a great number of our friends
and church family turn out for the bash.








We enjoyed confetti cake, lemon cake,
homemade vanilla ice cream along with
other snacks and punch.

Josh felt pretty well for the party
and most importantly was home -
not in the hospital -
where he could enjoy all the company,
food and gifts. (Last year, Josh was
in the hospital during his birthday -
in isolation in the intensive care unit
and had just had his trach put in.
He wasn't yet able to eat the cake
and ice cream on his 9th birthday)
