Happy Birthday Timo!

We all enjoyed a day of celebrating 4 years of life with Timothy Randall Vaughn! The day he was born our lives were changed forever! Randy, Tori, and myself were SO ready to welcome him into our world. We had longed for him and he was the answer to prayers from the deepest places in our hearts. We love him so much and we are confident that the Lord has great plans for Timothy. He is tough and he is tender...a great combination in a man of God.

Today we started out the day with a special breakfast with Timo as "Co-cooker" with his Dad. Randy was making pancakes and Timo was making blue scrambled eggs. At one point, Randy reached over to assist in stirring the eggs and Timo said, "Dad, Cookers don't mess with other cookers stuff." ....wise words from Timo.

One of the pictures above is Tori reading a special birthday card to Timo that she wrote for him. Timo also helped to ice and decorate his own cake. Randy plans to make him a special birthday cake later in the summer in the USA! You see in the pictures above that the kids enjoyed today's cake very much. Tori was very concerned about Jonathan being too close to the candles. She did not think that I was worried enough.

I believe Timothy went to bed feeling worn out from his day but knowing that he is loved and treasured. We are absolutely crazy about this kid! We love him so much our hearts hurt and we love to anticipate the days to come. God's plans are always good and we know his plans are good for Timothy Randall Vaughn!
