Real Time

Ransom Arthur is one year old today!

It's enough of an occasion for me to break away from the busy for a minute to mark it with a few crummy photos.

Blurry birthday boy during his birthday breakfast this morning. Other people appreciated it, but he wouldn't touch it!

I snapped my fingers to get his attention a couple of minutes ago. I captured his interest, all right, but all he wanted was to learn how to make that fantastic noise with his own fingers.

Another blurry photo, and with the be-markered background and grubby overalls of real life, here's the gap-toothed grin that brings us joy and joy and joy again. What a gift you are, dear little lovebug.  I cannot express all you mean to us.  (And now I'm off to go find him and smooch him.)
