A junk food breakfast al fresco, a day at the pool (Finn and Mr. Polly christened the water slide), pizza for dinner, Finn's art show, and delicious cake and gifts at the end of the day.
Finn, making a splash--
Mr. Polly, also splashing.
Birthday gifts included a rubik's cube, David Macaulay's book on ships, and pool toys....plus, the promise of a chicken coop, which has been Finn's sole desire the past couple of months. He wants to raise chickens!
Finn then:
and now:
Happy birthday to my shaggy-haired, artistic, book-addicted, sensitive, clever, helpful, ship-loving, tender-hearted, absent-minded, witty, encylopedia-reading son.
Happy Birthday Finn! I remember when he was tiny--and look at him now! He'll love raising chickens; that was the hardest thing to leave when we moved from Texas. They are the most endearing creatures ever. :)
ReplyDeleteThe boys just started on the coop last night! I am glad to hear that they are endearing. I am looking forward to acquiring ours!
DeleteHi Finn, I'm a little bit late but all the same I wish you a very happy birthday and a great year being NINE! :) From Rose in Australia
ReplyDeleteFinn says THANK YOU!!! from Finn in the US. ;)
DeleteHappy Birthday to you, Finn! He is a handsome boy and what an adorable baby he was.
ReplyDeleteHe was, wasn't he?!! I admit to a deep personal bias, but I remember thinking he was the cutest baby on earth. I know all mothers think that about their babies! And he is a handsome fella now, and even better, he's got a wonderful heart. I love spending my days with him!
