Happy Birthday, Richard!

August might not have any official holidays, but around here, we have two celebrations during the first part of the month. Here are a couple pictures from last Friday, when we gathered to celebrate Richard turning 12:


Jordi, as always, was an attentive present-opener-helper. She seems to genuinely like being part of the process, even though the presents aren't for her!


Here's Caroline, getting in the spirit of the day with balloons on her walker. We've been encouraging her to use it more often by bringing it with us almost everywhere we go. It seems to be working; I'll post more pictures of her using it next time!
