Other People's Pictures to Fill in the Cracks

And before you protest, "Hey, you have enough pictures! There are no cracks!" let me assure you that invisible cracks need filling, and I'm going to do so right now.

Cadie shared some pictures with me that I want to bundle along with these for Susannah to look back on. Thank you, Cadie!

The fact that a lot of them feature Tadhg just shows that he's cute, and we all love him. We discovered in the past that when he's surrounded by people clapping, delight fills him so full that he can't bear it. So, in the middle of one of the games, there was a clapping interlude, just for Tadhg.

More clapping.

This is when a mischievous gust of wind blew all the candles out before Susannah had a chance to even try.

Let's do that again.

I didn't even bother saying "no gifts" on the invitation because it hasn't worked even once in the past, and Susannah was absolutely overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of her talented friends. DIEdre made the coolest wood-burned birdhouse for her. It's so pretty we haven't yet put it outside!

Tadhg watching his daddy (Party-Party Man) working outside the window.

Too much clapping does not exist around these parts.

And here are three lovely girls to round out this bunch.
