my mom is one of my most favorite people.

today, december 7th, is her birthday. happy birthday, mom. i love you. wish i could've spent the day with you today. can't wait to see you sunday.

today he was thrilled to be able to use the bumbrella he got for his birthday. (and i'm thrilled that there were no injuries or damage as a result of the bumbrella!)


it's really hard to correct someone when they say bumbrella. so sometimes i don't. i really want to call it a bumbrella myself, but i don't.

i uploaded pictures dating as far back as january yesterday. here's a favorite.
