Jonah is 6!

I like this photo.

It is all blurry - but that's Jo. The first pic I took of him was very posed and clear - as he opened a gift that was not what he was expecting. He had a stoic smile and his cute voice thanking me for it - but his heart was not in it. And then he opened the long thin pressie - wow did he move after that!  Every shot is blurred.  It's pretty hard to take a photo of Jo when he's stoked.

And stoked he was.

Yes the Darth Maul Light Sabre is 1.5 meters long, taller than him. Yes, he packs a punch when he wants to - so whoever is on the receiving end may hurt...alot. And yes, the light sabre is ridiculously priced - and not the bicycle I had wanted to buy him. But so what.

Sometimes, we have to say that to ourselves in the store - after a whole hour of staring at it - 'So what!'. Then pick it up and pay.

This year - Jo wanted an ice cream cake packed with sweets. So we made it together the night before - it was a sweet experience:) And he loved it. That's what it's all about.

We are all well - kids are schooling, I am painting and Brod is working....and we're all doing this a lot.

Love to all.
