do you know this guy?

If you do, you probably know him as 1) a jokester 2)a helpful neighbor and friend 3) a busy student. Let’s be honest—probably #1. Well around here, he’s all those things. But he’s also Daddy. And a very good one at that. He’s the type of Daddy who’s not afraid to take the kids to the doctor or zoo by himself. The kind that gets home from work and doesn’t even change before swooping up the kids and taking them on walks or to the park. The kind that reads them goodnight stories and sings with them and tucks them into bed. He’s the best Daddy ever. And he had a birthday yesterday!


Lex helped me with the cake. After all, it was a trial for her birthday cake!

Here it is all lit up! Alexa and Lucas were so amazed!

Not a great picture, but Lex’s expression is priceless!

In my mind, she’s saying, “Why did we light the candles, just to blow them out?!” I love watching her experience things (she’s seen candles before, but not at quite this age where she’s beginning to understand).

Lex enjoying our family’s traditional Rich Silver Cake.


She asked for cake for breakfast this morning. I told her not right now. She responded with, “Yeah, maybe tomorrow.” Love her.
