Five Years


It was a lovely fifth birthday with Drew and Garrett yesterday.  Jim was able to take the day off work, and so we were both able to join the boys for their celebration at school, which was quite special.  They were so excited to be able to go to school on their "actual birthday!", and we were excited to be there with them, to take part, and to have the chance to get a peek into this part of their lives that has been mostly theirs.  Jim and I enjoyed a nice couple hours together while Garrett and Drew finished their day, then it was off to the park for rolling and jumping and other such fun.  After that, home for a whirlwind dinner, CAKE! and presents, then off to bed for all...

These boys are beautiful, maddening, amazing, exasperating, full of life and mystery, and we love them so very much.  Who can believe that they have become so big so soon?  And it is good.

Aw! So cool that you were able to do that (be at school with them for their bash)! I think I would have taken it for granted that it was impossible...

They seem really happy, guys. Secure. Good job!

And happy birthday, Boy-os!
