Wyatt's birthday party is tomorrow, so I'm up late baking cake so I can build it tomorrow and put the icing on. I'm relieved that he changed his mind last minute from cupcakes to one big cake; although cupcakes seem like an easier option, I always regret them once I start putting on the icing. They can be so tedious...not that a layer cake isn't. I'm not sure there's a winning option, really. I'm glad I enjoy this kind of thing.
Sometimes I wish this chair could talk
Tell me of the years it has seen
Stories of family gathered around the table
Children laughing
Meals shared
Scriptures read
Life in the everyday,
from days gone by.

My little Wyatt turned four today!
His day was filled with adventures, and here we are at Tim Hortons for a birthday donut...we're having his actual party on Saturday, so instead of making a batch of cupcakes today that would need to be eaten by our little family, I opted for a less labour intensive donut today. Cake or cupcakes to come on the weekend.

Wyatt snapped this photo for me, since I was feeling very uninspired with the camera today. It's a shot of Deacon's first computer. Yes, my one month old has a computer. He might want to learn to write code like his dad at some point, might as well start him young!
How do you spell fun?
R-A-M-E-N--N-O-O-D-L-E-S.
Okay seriously, gross. But I saw this in the check-out at the grocery store and I couldn't pass by without taking a photo. I didn't buy it, but don't those tacos look tempting? I'll be longing for that recipe for weeks.

This little gal loves her juice. She also loves to boss people around. I think she's probably happiest if she's bossing people around while drinking juice.
Some of the beautiful flowers that have been brightening up my kitchen since the wedding on Sunday - thanks, Cody and Mellary.
Our sweet little Deacon is one month old today, and he took some time this evening to coo at me and give me some smiles. He's growing up so fast!
We are so blessed to have this little man in our family, and it is so sweet to see how Markus, Wyatt, and Bailey have welcomed their baby brother with such open arms. While being a family of six has its crazy moments, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
