He blew out the candles before we finished singing

Today Kid A turned seven.  I made pancakes with Nutella (a super birthday treat!) and fried eggs (the fried eggs were on special request) and we sang.  He was up long before I was, but still wanted to eat breakfast in bed.

We had an early birthday party last week, because some friends were leaving and we really wanted to include them, so today was just about pancakes and badminton and video game time and a special dinner out with Daddy.

I absolutely love Kid A.  He's just the coolest kid.

I've gotta know -- what kind of deliciousness are the candles sticking out of? It looks like he had a pretty wonderful day (and got to practice lots of patience with his baby brother!).

I was looking at the picture of Solo just waiting to grab things, so perhaps that's why Kid A blew so quickly - wanted to make sure that Solo did not do that part. Thanks for the pics

Happy birthday!!!

There are a lot of birthdays in September it seems. Seems like I'm not the only one making babies around Christmas time. But really, what better way to celebrate the season?

Happy, Happy Birthday, Kid A! Seven - WOW!
That 3rd photo features Solo fixing to leap at that fancy red present - and I see he is 'helping' in the next photo. Kid A is such a great kid that he is allowing Solo to have a part. Sweet.

Hey, this is a bit irrelevant, but I noticed your blog page loaded lightning fast compared to mine. So I was wondering are you using dedicated hosting or shared hosting? thanks.
