My sweet, beautiful, curious, running-leaping-dancing-singing, bibliophile boy is four years old. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Thanks, Lena! We're partial to them both.
DeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are all so sweet. Griffin has grown so much! Gwyneth has the sweetest smile!! I love the new family picture...a real treasure. Hello Griffin, Hello Gwyneth.
Much Love,
Aunt Kathy
Uncle Steve
Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve, I didn't know you read my blog! Thank you for the compliments. Oh, and the bear hidden under Griffin's shirt in the middle picture, that's the one you made for him.
DeleteHe's only four?!? How is that possible? He does so much! Joyeux anniversaire, Griffin! I knew you when you were the size of a jellybean!
ReplyDeleteAnd, Sarah, enjoy this year. Kids, like good cheese, only get better with age. Until, you know, they start to turn rotten. But that's a whiles away yet... :)
Yeah, four, crazy, right? Plus he just got his hair cut--his first crewcut--and I swear he looks like a ten-year-old. A very short ten-year-old.
ReplyDeleteGriffin's preschool teacher: I can't believe that Griffin is turning five already.
Me: Actually, he's going to be four.
Teacher: But he's so smart!
Me: [Smiles modestly and refrains from saying, "I know!"]
That last picture of Gywneth is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteBon Annivesaire Griffin! Felicitations maman et familie!
(Hope that came out "happy birthday Griffin and Congrats maman and family". Its been ages since I've used French!)
