E's birthday and such

Hello friends,
Emmett is now 4 years old!  Here are a few photos of the birthday night cake cutting.  (Emmett got the first "stab" at it.)

Was this really a good idea?

Our child?  Or samurai movie poster?

Apparently, the standard through-the-center cake cutting method is learned, not inherited.

Conrad asked for a small piece, and he got it.

Big smile!

They play the games that they see us doing...

Just a dinnertime video






Brooke had a 2-week rotation in San Francisco, so here are some of the fabulous parks (and weather) in walking distance of Ryan, Jeannie, and Clara's house

Saturday morning antics

Some of you may not recognize these kids, seeing how infrequent are our posts!  Yet here they are, playing with balloons from the library today, and making some music together.
