Roger and Paula hosted a birthday party for Grammie over at their house. They made it a come and go event which made it a little easier on Grammie. I made the Nutella cake that Jessica Peterman makes and got us hooked on.

I love my Grammie so much!

Many games of Uno were played. Tahni and I went to Yucatan Taco stand for nachos.

We were all so excited when Tahni told us she was coming to visit. She had been living in Belgium for the last year and we hadn’t seen her since June 2015. Our big plans were to hang out and eat a lot of Mexican food. We succeeded. Tahni also blessed me by taking our family photos as my birthday gift. They turned out amazing and I will do a separate post to feature some of my favorites.

Taco Tuesday fun included a stare down contest.

Teaching Tahni how to play Wig Out!

Tahni and Nadia being amazing.

We were so sad when it was time for Tahni to leave, but so happy that she spent time with us while back in America.

In September my friend Miriam and I attended the Sidewalk Advocates for Life banquet with guest speaker Abby Johnson. They are doing a great work in a peaceful way, you can visit their site here. I had heard Abby speak at the Pro-Life Women’s Conference in June and I knew that Miriam would enjoy hearing from her. Abby’s story of running a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas is heartbreaking, but also encouraging because of the work she does now. She speaks the truth about what happens in clinics and works to get abortion workers out of the business. You can find out more about her work here.

Silly selfies before the banquet started.

Destiny and I. She rocks.
