My birthday boy

July 8th. Eight years old. We have just returned from a one kid adventure in Wales, and it was such a treat to have so much time with our biggest boy, who is growing up so very very fast. Here is is in front of Carnaerfon castle, Wales. You are certainly a lover of knights and castles. You love physical work: digging, painting, shoveling. You are a natural and nurturing big brother to your siblings. You make friends effortlessly. And those dimples - I've loved them from the moment I first saw them.
