This morning started off with a baseball game like usual.
Then it was off to the library to sign up for the summer reading program and try out the firetrucks.
They did a short demo in the ambulance too. The kids thought it was pretty cool.
We made it inside and picked out some books. This was Ryker's first choice. It's 648 pages long and 2 inches thick. Nice choice dude!
Up next were some parties! We headed out to Fairland to celebrate a friends retirement party. Afterwards, I dropped Robert and the little ones off at the house before heading down to Greenwood. For the past year I've been praying for a little boy I had never met named Liam. A friend of mine from church asked us to join her in praying for him. He was in the hospital for 10 solid months before getting a new heart and finally coming home. Today we threw a welcome home party for him and celebrated all the holidays he missed while in the hospital. I ran the Valentine's Day booth and helped people make valentines. Ryker was a good helper and enjoyed trying out all the other booths too.
The balloon animals were his favorite by far.
The photo booth was pretty cool too.
There was a time Carolynn couldn't hold Liam. I remember reading her words and crying over her inability to hold her boy in her arms. I rejoiced with tears of happiness when she was finally able to hold him again. Seeing her hold him today and dance with him was such a wonderful moment. It was such a tangible reminder of God's love and answered prayers.
The donor's family was there as well. They released balloons to honor their son. It was a very emotional night to say the least.
So blessed to have great friends like Amy who have a heart for others and include me in serving them.
