After church worship services last Sunday, we rushed to Baby Benjamin's first birthday celebration at the V Barn, located a few miles away from us, and run by a local Park District. The barn/building, complete with silo, looks non-descript on the outside, but the inside was festive and well-lighted. The grounds also had a beautiful, inviting, red playground-set that Farrah and AJ enjoyed.
Baby Benjamin was a preemie, born months before his due date. To have us enjoy and celebrate his first birthday with him is a gift from God. Thank You, Lord Jesus for the privilege.
