Celebrating Michael’s birthday, a week early. The fire alarm went off, which pleased the boy greatly. (He likes noise, and the prospect of fire trucks is thrilling!)
Full photoset is here.
I put together a photoset from Friday, called Parker Hopkins’ Debut.
This post brought to you by a long afternoon nap and a grande latte.
Some goofy cameraphone self-portraits of my (only) nephew and me, in the back of my father’s car after church. We celebrated Michael’s birthday one week early because we’ll all be out of town and in different locations.
Self-portraiture with a cameraphone is harder than it looks, by the way, especially since I’m accustomed to using my swivel LCD for this purpose. All pics from the photo session are here.
Michael is turning six years old, and he really impressed me with his reading level today. He’s been doing well in school and it’s exciting to see such tremendous growth in all the kidlets after a year of being away from them (except for Melissa’s weekend in Pennsylvania for our wedding in October).
This afternoon while Michael and I waited for my dad out in the parking lot, the boy pointed out every airplane in the sky. David would’ve had such fun teaching them all about aerospace and rocketry, I thought to myself. I told Michael that I went to Kennedy Space Center a few weeks ago and saw the shuttle Atlantis out on the launch pad. I didn’t say David’s name, but Michael has always had a superb memory and I’m sure he remembers David bringing aerospace-related gifts for them at Christmas in 2004 and talking about airplanes. I’m sure in future those memories will fade, but I hope it isn’t for a long time yet.
