Birthday Boy!

Happy 5th Birthday to my little knight in shining armor. I love your sweet smile, your endless snuggles, your abundant creativity. I love the thoughtful and loving things you say to me every day, your innocence, your curiosity, the sound of your laughter. You are a joy and a light in my life, sweet boy!

5th Birthday Party!

Saturday was this guy's birthday party! Here are a few of many photos! More to come in the next few days! By the way, it's all about pirates!

How about this jumper?

Pirate Dylan After Battle!

This little pirate had a big birthday party yesterday--28 kids and their families! You always know a party is fun when at least one kid walks away with a black eye, right? Ten minutes into the party, Dylan bumped heads with another friend and ended up with this knot above his right eye. It made him look like a real fierce, swash-buckling pirate for the whole party! I am still sorting photos so more will be up soon.

Trouble...

Can you believe this? Just when you think your summer is going well, you find your two girls in the back of a police car ready to go downtown...

And...wait a minute... who's that in charge of this arrest???

What??? It's their own brother??? Well, that's what they get for not playing a long enough game of pirates with him!

Tell 'em like it is, Dylan!


(Many thanks to our great neighbor, Tim, for taking them for a ride and letting Dylan operate the lights and speaker!)

Treats!

Walks

This guy took so many walks around Granny's big driveway last weekend that even the dog decided to stop following him... How nice to have a place where he can safely explore!
