First, Cookie turned 7. We had cake at home, and later, a fun party at the beach. The kids got their first real sunburn, putting me to shame for letting it happen yet filling me with pride that it hadn't before.

Didn't write about it, though.

Then Turtle turned 1. He threw cake on the floor, we gave him a big cardboard box as a gift, and he wore a crown.

Didn't write about it, though.

So, stuff keeps happening. I keep busy.

It's when I look back at posts from years ago that I realize I'd like to keep this up. Otherwise, I'm not going to remember half the things I want to.
