I postponed the birthday celebration until he can finally surface for air. ... http://www.randomscribble.com/index.php?p=482 Summer vacation is officially over.

Uh-oh, that's just one year away from being catapulted into a double-digit age bracket and tween category. No elaborate birthday party this year, just a quiet, family dinner.
