Summer Is 6!

 We got to celebrate Summer this past weekend!  She wanted a unicorn rainbow cake and I knew I didn't really have the resources to make that myself so I just got a cute little unicorn rainbow cake topper online.  And judging by how easy it was to find and how plentiful the options were, a unicorn rainbow cake is what a large number of girls want right now:)  I can't say I'll be super sad when the unicorn craze is done.  I mean, why didn't I have a six year old girl when cute little owls were all the rage???

Summer is a great big sister, keeping her brothers in line.  Also this picture is being stubborn and won't let me make it bigger.

Sawyer decided to jump on the unicorn train too and pretend his hat was a horn.

She does love them dearly, however she just wrote a little book in her Kindergarten level handwriting entitled "Dreams".  The first dream she wrote was "Have a sister."  She might need to let that one go.

We had a little party on Saturday for everyone who was in town.  It included all the current Harvest Call Bonne Fin residents, a board member, and an orthopedic surgeon from South Carolina who has spent years making short term trips to the hospital.  You just never know what kind of a hodge podge birthday party you'll have when you're an MK!

We also got a kick out of the pile of presents.  Total Haiti style of "just make do".  One came in a bag that was ripped almost all the way down the side, one was in a black plastic sack (all the Haitians carry things in black plastic sacks), two were wrapped in Christmas paper, and one that came in the mail never made it out of the USPS envelope.

Modeling her new dress from grandparents.

Her actual birthday was Sunday and we had joint services up here at the hospital.  She soaked up the time with a friend.  Those times are few and far between enough that she gets SOOOOOO excited when it happens.  So to be able to have it on her birthday was pretty special!

And just in case you need one more reminder of how glamourous life on the mission field is, this was Summer's activity one morning.  She said "I saw Tom go past on the 4-wheeler so I'm going to sit at the gate and wait so I can watch him go past the other way."  And lest you think she would be so bored doing such an activity, don't worry.  She played with a piece of yarn while she sat there.  It just doesn't get much better than that.

We love our Summer and just can't hardly imagine life without her!
