A month after we moved to Virginia Adam turned 7! I was worried we wouldn’t know anyone to come to Adam’s birthday, but we already had so many friends to invite! And Grandma Gertch and Uncle Ari came for the party too!
But first Adam’s actual birthday. After years in Manila with no helium I of course made sure that Adam had a bunch of helium balloons. Side note helium balloons last for SO long! For Adam’s 7th birthday we decided to get him a big kid bike! And this bike is so cool I want one for myself. He loves it!
On our birthdays we pick where we want to have dinner. Since we’ve moved to the U.S. I’ve ordered Chinese food a few times and the boys LOVE it. Adam especially loves the fortune cookies. I’ve also been promising that on his birthday he could have a Coke, so we headed to the Chinese restaurant and ordered soups all around.
Then it was back home for a cake.
For Adam’s birthday party we went to Climb Zone, this cool rock climbing place in Maryland. He had lots of friends come, some from school, some from Manila and some from when we lived in DC 7 years ago when he was born.
In between all the birthday celebrations I had my flag day and got assigned to Ukraine! It was the best present we all could get, because it means that Randy and I will be in the same country for our next tour!
