Birthday (and Easter) Dinner

We celebrated Emerson's Sixth Birthday, as well as Easter, with spaghetti and meatballs and then a red velvet cake, per Emerson's request. Emerson heading into his seventh year is a joy to be around. He is a keen observer, an animated storyteller and an enthusiastic helper whenever something needs doing - especially if he can do it all on his own. He would spend entire days building new Lego sets, probably not stopping to eat, if allowed. He loves climbing the tall cypress tree in the back yard, digging in the dirt (and finding 'crystals' and worms, catching lizards (he actually catches them now! lots of them), swimming, playing baseball, and going to the library to get new books to read. He is a great friend and playmate for his younger brother Ethan. For him the world is (still) full of magic and wonder and I love experiencing life through his eyes. Happy Birthday to my dear Emerson!
