Micah's Birthday Party

This afternoon, we had the pleasure of attending a birthday party for Amelia's friend, Micah.  Amelia and Micah shared the same room in the orphanage in Chongqing.  David and Micah's mom, Courtney, have known each other for almost 20 years.  They met at Camp Winnataska.  Courtney is still a director there, and David serves on the Board of Directors, so there is still a lot of contact between them.  We had the opportunity to take pictures of Micah when we were in China and send them to his new family.  Courtney and I have become friends through this process, and we are so blessed to be able to allow Micah and Amelia to keep in contact.  I love that Amelia and Micah celebrated their first birthdays together in China (although probably without a true celebration) and will continue to celebrate all of their birthdays together in Birmingham.

Micah's party was held at Camp Winnataska.  Everyone had a fun time playing on the playground, eating yummy snacks and cake, and swimming in the pool.  Amelia really liked snack time, but swimming in the pool was her absolute favorite part of the party.  She LOVED the huge water slide.  We let her slide down the slide and one of us would catch her at the end.  She thought it was the greatest!  We took some cute pictures, but unfortunately, we didn't take any at the pool.  David and I were both in the water with her the entire time, so no pictures were taken.  Amelia and Micah played with each other in the pool.  They were so precious!  We all had a great time, and I would really love to have Amelia's party there next year.  I think all of her little friends would have fun at the pool.   We wish Micah a very happy 2nd birthday and hope to be able to share many more birthdays with him.
