I missed posting about Griffin's birthday. He had one, though, and now he's six.
Here's the cake he requested. They wouldn't let me decorate it this year, though - they did this all themselves. Yes, it's being attacked by Captain Jack.
Yep, he's six, and he astounds us every day with how big he is. It still catches us by surprise. I think we have a tendency to treat him as a younger kid. He won't stand for that much longer, though. He's a big kid. He takes karate. He's learning arithmetic.
He seems to have decided that his position in the family is that of class clown. I truly think this was a considered decision on his part. And he works at it. He wants, more than anything, to be funny. To make people laugh, as only the third child can.
And he's a sweet, sweet boy.

Happy, happy birthday to Griffin! We are celebrating a birthday this week, too.

Yes, if Connor is my history/philosophy son, Griffin is my sense of "humor" son. So with Aidan being your talent/attitude son, what is Lachlan going to be?

Hmmm. What we need is a rocker. Maybe he's the kid I should be trying to get hooked on the guitar. None of the others like my music *sniff.*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! SIX????? When did that happen???
Natalie, our third, is also our funny one, our clown. And she's really good at it.
Rachel, our first, happens to be our musical one. Tonight, after much thought in realizing that I may have over scheduled them, offered to let her choose what to drop from her weekly schedule. Turns out she doesn't want to drop a single thing. In fact, she wants to ADD violin, flute OR clarinet. ADD???!!??? I thought she was sooo sad and miserable cause I had her doing too many thing. No. She wants to ADD MORE to her daily life. How is it so possible that she's got exactly half of both Mike and I????
