Allen

Allen's job is going AWESOME! Thank you so much to all of you who have prayed or asked about his week. We're so grateful for God's provision. He has gotten to already travel this week. He has gone to three big meetings in the last couple of days. He has met a lot of big-wigs in the company. He said everyone has been so nice and helpful. I am so very happy for him. What a change!!!!



Tuesday was his birthday. Here are the pictures from his party.



Allen's Uncle Gary and the kids. Uncle Gary played with the kids in the backyard for hours. They just loved it!!!






The birthday boy and his adoring kids.




Allen's mom, Karen and Aunt Carlma. For the record...that is BBQ sauce and not a beer in Aunt Carlma's hand :)




Papa was the cook. I was so grateful as I have never grilled in my whole entire life!




What a sad attempt at cake decorating! I did not forget for whom I was making my cake. JULIE is actually the IL name for the one call before you dig. That is supposed to be a shovel in the dirt. Oh well...it is the thought that counts, right?


They enjoyed the ridiculously decorated cake!





Allen's gift from my parents and Chris and Dana. It is an IPOD look alike. He was thrilled that it has 4g!




Hannah admiring her card she made for her Daddy. She wrote that all by herself!

Ohhhhh Monica, I LOVE the cake!!! It made me chuckle so hard -- y'know, it borders on obscene . . . if it weren't a child's cake, I would've asked you what the HECK! HAH! I love it!!
