I’ll post pictures when I get home, but Seamus turned nine today. We did his presents over the breakfast table; I really hadn’t a clue what to get him this year. I got him a present that he loves for Christmas, but he hadn’t asked for anything really specific for his birthday, so I went with a skateboard.

Turns out, he had a much cooler one at his dad’s. I can’t always win, but he seemed enthusiastic enough. He was more pleased with the little tripod John got him, and took a picture of the two of us before he even got dressed. I, fortunately, was already dressed!

Anyway, Happy Birthday, squirt.
