Jacob's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Nico's birthday comes up two weeks later. It's a tricky dance. No matter how much I tell Nico that awesomeness will be his on his birthday it sometimes hasn't turned out that well.
The above picture is of Jacob's 5th birthday party at the park in Chicago. A (Benjamin) lifetime ago, by the way. Thanks again Mardee for lighting that unlightable windswept candle so that I could restrain Nico from going all Hulk on the festivities.
Here's hoping for a tear-free season! Happy birthdaying!
