We had a fabulous day today – it was Liam’s last day of Kindergarten, and so his class had a festival day complete with a puppet show performed by the children. Today is also my birthday, and I had a wonderful birthday lunch with Kevin and the boys and friends from Liam’s school, and then [...]

From this: And this: To this: All in one school year. Liam’s last day of school was last Wednesday. It was also my birthday, so it was a big day all around. Lots of evidence of people growing bigger and older around here these days! School’s out until after Labor Day, and it feels good [...]

Kieran and Liam helped Kevin blow out the candles on his cake tonight. Liam and Kieran helped me bake their Daddy’s birthday cake – lemon cake with whipped vanilla buttercream frosting. We mixed up the batter and baked yesterday, thus introducing Kiri to the fun of licking the beaters. We frosted and decorated the cake [...]

2!

Dear Kieran, It is impossible that you have been with us for two years now. I swear you were just born last summer, but no, that can’t be right. After all, Liam hadn’t even started nursery school when you were born, and now he is in kindergarten. You have grown rapidly into a tall little [...]
