The Birthday Boy

September 19, 2008 -

The long-awaited birthday of Caedmon's finally arrived!

The kidlets posed for me first thing in the morning

beneath the sign they'd made in celebration.

Caedmon was happy and grateful to receive a "Webkinz" for his birthday.

(His dad promised Caed a Mustang for his 16th birthday

if he would forego the Webkinz,

but Caedmon chose the here-and-now :-).

DJ caught Nanny sneaking some of the dessert

while we were watching Caedmon open his gifts.

Caedmon wasn't too excited about the lighting of the candles,
apprehensive that fire would bring harm upon him and/or us.
His dad convinced Caed
that the candle-fire would be kept under control.


Brooke read Caed's birthday cards to him as Alexandra filmed.

Just what he always wanted!

Caedmon was happy to eat pizza and be celebrated with

for his fourth birthday!

Thank you, God, for our precious son! Hooray!

Go, M's!

While visiting in Washington state last month for my sister's wedding,

we took the time to attend a Mariner's baseball game at Safeco Field, much to DJ's delight.

He told the kidlets, "This is your first professional baseball game,

and it's NOT the Giants and it's NOT the Dodgers!" What fun! :-)

Thought to ponder: Are Dodger dogs sold at Safeco Field? Hmmm...
