Moving forward

My job is officially over.
We have a lot of decisions to make and a lot of things all going on at once. In addition to the  stuff we have going on with Shel, I also got some bad news about my own health.
Take a deep breath and move forward!!!!

He turns FIVE today

My humpback whale turns five today. It is hard to believe my little guy is already so old! He is quite indignant that he is NOT old - he is still "new". He may still be new but he does not fit in my arms the way he did five years ago !
I saw this idea on the internet for asking your kids questions each year on their birthday and then compiling it from each year into a book for them when they are older. I thought it was a cool idea and so we started today!
Here are CJ's answers:

1. What is your favorite color? Flames and blue flames and red flames. Actually, all the flames and red and yellow and purple.
