A little birthday event...

So, I guess there is life after India...

We've had a good week getting back into the swing of things and getting over the jet lag. A full week at work (minus MLK Jr. Day) and extra curricular activities snapped us back into reality. Wednesday we had some friends and family over to show pics and video of the trip, which was a lot of fun. Friday night we headed to Moline for about 24 hours to spend some time with our parents and family there to show pics and video and have dinner and show our Indian clothes and whatnot. It was a short visit, but I cannot express how fabulously easy to was to have our families combined... all together!!! No running between houses or anything. It was wonderful and a lot of fun.

Then today, we've been busy! This morning at church we played in the orchestra, stood up front for our India team to be interviewed by Pastor Lutzer, were on coffee/donuts/greeting duty at Sunday School and then headed off to a brithday party...

My friend from work has one of the cutest little girls. She is so funny and sweet and although Marcus and I haven't spent loads of time with her, we totally love this child (and I think she finds us pretty cool, too.) Her birthday was actually back in December, but a first birthday party is better late than never! We had a great time and will hopefully get to see this little one again soon, as well as the baby sister who's coming in about a month!

Our assistant principal at work makes amazing cakes. She makes them for all the showers at school and different events. This one was too cute. There was a little banana "smasher" cake for Maddie as well. :)

Does this pink cardigan come in my size!?

Not so happy about this whole cake idea...

Haha, tears or smiles, the first birthday cake pics are always fun to look at. :)
Happy Birthday, Maddie! You are so precious!
