Titus has the honor of being the first member of our family to celebrate a birthday in Papua New Guinea!
Here are a few photos of his celebration.
This year Titus was wavering between asking for a sword cake and an ice cream cone cake. He finally decided on the ice cream cone – or so I thought! The morning before his birthday (the day I was making the cake) he asked if the icing he saw was for his sword cake!! Well, I didn’t feel up to turning an ice cream cone into a sword so we went with the cone. He was okay with that – maybe we’ll do a sword next year!
We had a BBQ with the other missionaries here on the center on Saturday, so we decided to have the cake then too. More people to share the calories!
Then on Sunday morning Titus opened some presents before we left for church. His birthday packages from both sets of grandparents had arrived a few days earlier! Mail has been taking at least a month from the States and we didn’t know how long a package from Bangladesh would take so we were excited they arrived on time.
After church we went to a pool in town for lunch and some swimming.
We love you, Titus! Happy Birthday!

Peyton can’t decide what kind of cake he wants either. Some of his ideas sound a little daunting to me so we’ll see what he decides. Great job on the ice cream cake! Happy birthday, Titus!
