Josiah turned 13 on April 16. Wow--how did that happen so fast? Wasn't he 8 just last year? Guess time got ahead of me. Oh well. We enjoyed celebrating with him. He decided to ask our neighbor to join us for a trip to the Olympic Museum here and then for dinner, and Marwan (pronounced "Mahdwahn") said yes. Here are some pictures from the day.
