BIrthday Boy




Truman turned one on April 11 and we had a big family bash. Unfortunately I was sick but thinking I could will myself out of being sick (a plan that worked fairly well). As a result there are a lot less photos of somewhat lower quality than you might expect from moi. Ritual apology.

We had a feast of roast, oven fries, chicken, salad, watermelon, carrots and two kinds of cupcakes I baked from scratch. Let me tell you, baking is not easy but most of the attempts were edible.

On a sappier note, this year has been amazing. Already Truman has made our lives fuller and renewed my sense of wonder in the world. Happy Birthday my darling boy!































Thank you everyone who came in person and in spirit and for showering him with gifts. He is so well loved. It's just a matter of time before he starts telling you all how much he loves you back.
