Jayce is 9





Jayce enjoyed his ninth birthday with a little party with two of his new friends, all of us, and our fellow missionary friend, Mike Sullivan. We ventured out for pizza in the town square, and then home for dessert. Mike taught us the traditional Slovak birthday treatment. We threw Jayce into the air 9 times, much better than the "9 spankings and a pinch to grow an inch." And yes, you guessed it, Jelka came through again with another one of her prize-winning birthday cakes! This one came complete with the birthday sparkler. Her husband and daughter also joined us for the celebration.

Wow, Jayce. What a gorgeous cake - even topped with a sparkler. I'll bet it is about the most decorated cake you ever had. I'm so glad there were people there to celebrate with you. Thanks for your call on my birthday. It was fun to talk to you all. I can't believe you have already been there 2 months. It is a beautiful sunny day here today and the snow is almost all gone. Hope you are all doing well. We will talk again soon. Love, Grandma Rumbold
