On May 26 we celebrated Cruz's 16th birthday.

He is currently obsessed with trucks and vehicles. When I saw this balloon at a local store I knew he'd love it.

opening gifts
This year he didn't ask for any presents. He wanted money for upcoming outings with friends.
I did get him a few of his favorite snacks.

We drove into Guatemala City to visit Futeca Top Tee.
He had the best time!!
We stopped for coffee on the drive back home.
We ended the day with supper at Hector's Bistro.

He will be a junior in the fall. He just got his Guatemala driver's license and will transfer his U.S. driver's permit to a regular license later this summer. He is steadily getting more independent and mature. It is a joy to watch him grow up and become who God wants him to be. He makes us laugh, keeps us on our toes, and fills our home with so much life. We cannot thank God enough for this incredible gift.
