Jonas’ 13th Birthday
I reluctantly inform you that I am now a parent of a teenager. Jonas celebrated his 13th birthday yesterday. We have Teri and Angie on a short-term missions trip from Vancouver, Washington to assist with VBS and other things right now. And they were so sweet to put up streamers and balloons so that when Jonas walked upstairs to have breakfast, he would see everything decorated for his special day. We made him a nice breakfast of an omelet with toast. The bulk of the day was crazy busy with VBS. But after VBS was done, Jonas combined birthday money from us and other family members to buy his first mobile phone. He went back and forth between a mobile phone and a newer iPod with more memory, but in the end, he opted for the phone. We got a SIM card for him and activated it with a pre-paid amount (He is spending the night tonight at his friend, James’ house, and we’ve been texting each other…I think he really digs his birthday present). Then we went to Tina’s pizza with some friends for a special dinner. After dinner we went over to the Hale’s home, where we had cake and where Jonas opened more gifts from others. Thank you all for your birthday greetings to Jonas. It was a great day for him and for the whole family.
