Sprout Likes to Party

Last weekend, I got old (or at least older). To celebrate, we invited neighbors, friends and family over for an afternoon of cake -- two cakes to be precise. I really enjoyed it, and I think I did it in large part because of Zeke. Yes, being a mom has aged me, but there are other reasons. Zeke being in my life has brought me closer to many people -- getting me to reconnect with old friends, to forge new friendships, and to build stronger relationships. Simultaneously, we keep so busy now, there are so many people who I just don't see as often as I would like. So, a party with two cakes. Aaron and Trish did a great job putting everything together. Thank you to everyone who came out. (For those friends and family who couldn't come, my birthday wish is that we get to see each other more in the coming year!)

Here is Zeke (and Gabriel) helping me take care of the candles on my cakes. Zeke started clapping when he saw the lit candles!
