My 25th birthday was by far the best I have ever had. It would have been the best birthday even if we hadn't celebrated because Zeke makes everything better! Dustin took Zeke and I to Branson for the weekend, luckily Saturday was actually my birthday, that doesn't happen often. We started out the day by eating breakfast on the ninth floor of our hotel, with a great view of the Ozarks. Zeke loved standing in the window and looking out. Then we began our shopping quest. We spent the entire morning and afternoon shopping at the outlet malls and at the landing. We went to Bass Pro and got Zeke a life jacket and spent way too much but it was all on Zeke so it was worth it. Mid afternoon, we decided to stop and eat at Shorty Small's at the landing overlooking the lake, the food, waitress and view were all amazing. Zeke was so good all day, especially at the restaurant. He just laughed and cooed at all the people as they walked by. We went back to the hotel to rest and then off to Pierce Arrow. Zeke was mesmerized by the singing and lights. He didn't make a peep during the two hour show. We sat next to a couple that fell in love with Zeke. About half way through the show we realized that the man, Lando, and Zeke shared something, they were both missing their left hand. Lando gave us some comforting info about how he would learn to deal with it. We never doubt it will all work out, because we know God is in control, but it is so amazing when he sends angels our way to show us what he tells us daily. God moves in your life when you least expect it, we exchanged email addresses and will keep in contact with this dear couple. On Sunday, we came home and went to visit with the Slagleys, our prayers are still with you, we love you all. I have included some pics, but it was so hard to pick so there are alot.
