Oh my heart is squishy and full. I love this kid just so. so. so. much. He’s in the throes of middle school, with all the horrible-ness that that is, and my heart regularly bleeds for this kid. His goodness is completely incompatible to the rotten-ness of the age and stage. But he is standing his ground!
To celebrate his birthday we had a backyard party. We had about 25 kids show up. They ran around – movies, trampoline, garden, food, in and out of the house and shop. I think they had a ton of fun.
On his actual birthday we opened presents first thing in the morning (per tradition!) and then had an easy-going morning. In the afternoon we watched Footloose (per Ejo’s request, watched on Vid-Angel). In the evening we went to Goodwood to enjoy a big birthday dinner.
Happy birthday my squishy hearted Everett! I love you with all my heart!
