Gavin is 4 years old!

I am a few days late, but Gavin did indeed turn 4 on January 19th. See?



I made him a cake. And no, I am not blind or palsied, even though it might look that way from the wavy decorating. He enjoyed it, anyway.





And here is one great reason to have children.



Have you ever seen more wonder and delight in the rising smoke from a blown out birthday candle?

I certainly haven't.
