Celebrating Anniversary and Josiah

We went to see this concert in Amish country to celebrate our 23rd Anniversary. 

Renee made cream pies for Josiah since she wasn't able to in Mongolia during his birthday in June.

4th of July in Ohio

This was actually on the 3rd of July, downtown Wadsworth, USA

Aunt and Uncle K's church participated in a street fair

Followed by fireworks

Then on the 4th of July we celebrated Johanna's birthday with family and folks

Played games and grilled 'Gramburger's' 

And finally fun with sparklers provided by great uncles.  

Happy birthday America and Johanna!
