Happy (Half) B-Day!

Mostly because: “Life is too short not to...”

Partly because: By now it’s more or less a family tradition...

And partly because: The extra (unforeseen) busyness of the last week made life as a family more challenging than usual...

We took time as a family and celebrated E’s “Half Birthday” yesterday.

We love our Little Lady! ♥

We went to our family’s favorite “high-brow” tea house. (And we were actually “proud” of our Little People’s developing table manners!) J

And we surprised our Aspiring Detective with a special gift:
Encyclopedia Brown (“Boy Detective”), a character and
his stories that JM and I both loved when we were about E’s age!
