Birthday!

Happy Birthday Will, who turned 40 earlier this week. What a thing! It was actually a more cheerful occasion than this solemn-looking picture makes it seem. It was a little hectic; even with buying the dinner (BBQ), after a full work day it still seemed like a lot to come together. And a lot of people in a small house. But -- I think Will enjoyed it and the fennel cake (One of Will's favorite foods! In a cake!) which I was concerned about, came out fine. Best ever, Will has been feeling well enough to row almost every day this week -- an activity that is great for his lungs, his overall health, and his mind. So, all in all, a good week so far. I'll try to catch up more and post some photos of Liam this weekend. We're thinking it may be time for his first haircut. (Gasp!)
