A dozen years since

Happy happy birthday to Caleb who turns 12 today!  Technically we should only celebrate around 1 am tomorrow morning, given the timezone change and his actual birth being at 15h08, but we're lenient on this one and allow 18th April to be close enough :) Given that it was a regular school day today the celebrations were pretty low-key, starting with presents at 6 am...

 (Aaron decided that the wrapping paper from the basketball made a great helmet for Caleb)

 Examining Caleb's watch...

 After school we drove to the pet shop and bought an "all you need starter kit" to house two fish.

And then it was pizza for tea, Caleb's basketball game, and a social swing dance evening.  May the Lord bless and keep you, Caleb, as you grow in the knowledge of His grace and in stature!
