Happy Birthday Amico!

 Happy 20th Birthday Anziano Trickett!!!  :)

Carew just celebrated his second, and final birthday in Italy! I thought it was so sweet how in his email home this week, his highlight of his birthday was the gift of teaching an investigator, and gaining two additional investigators because of it. That was the best gift that he could have asked for as a missionary! Now we are just praying for them to desire to accept the gospel and to be baptized. :)

 Back home we celebrated Carew with his favorite cake and time with family! Kierra and Riley are in town for a few days and we were so happy to have them here with us! 

 We spent a little time outside doing sidewalk chalk and enjoying the sunshine that we haven't seen much these last few weeks...

 Oh how I have loved seeing the growth and change that has occurred in this sweet son of mine. I can hardly believe that he will be home in just a few short months...

Time sure flies when you are having fun and THAT is exactly what we have been doing around here! :)

Life is good and we are grateful!

And oh so blessed! Happy Birthday Amico!!! (Buddy! ;)
