I cannot believe that I failed to post pictures from BOTH kids’ birthdays this year. This is really a symptom of a larger issue, which I will address at some point. In any case, Zane turned four at the end of August, and Lillia turned twelve at the end of October. Here are a few pictures from their celebrations (I’m pretty darn proud of the tiger cake I made for Zane):
Then summer fades and passes and October comes.
We’ll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness,
swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure.
–Thomas Wolfe
