Glen & Donuts

As you can see, the Glenster was in 'excited spirits' for his 35th birthday (August 7th) as Micah and I drove him to downtown Seattle for breakfast at Top Pot Donuts. Glen loves donuts, so it was a happy, sugar-y kinda' morning. Happy Birthday babe, love you! Yum yum yum-O!Now look at the happy camper!

Hot JUUU...ly

Lots of summer happenings in the Thompson household these last few weeks! Five wonderful highlights: 1. Our first VBS at Faith Bible Church 2. Shilo gets to go to the Women Discipling Women Conference at Grace Community Church (no pics here) 3. Emily (now Otten!) comes to visit 4. Shilo's mom & step-dad come to visit 5. Glen heads up first mission trip with 12 people to a poor Indian reservation in Yakama, WA. Micah, Daisy, and I missed him very much but we were thankful to have loved ones here. Hope the pictures can give you some glimpses of God's goodness:
