After a lot of back and forth in my head, I've decided not to celebrate the birthdays here. It's just too hard to do justice to how special and dear and wonderful the birthday children, big and small, are. How can I express all that in a few words here? It's not possible. I feel the need to go on and on about each one, and show many pictures. My heart wants to explode in happiness and gratitude for our family today, as I remember that January day in Davis, California, when the world was new and we became the parents of our first little baby boy.
