A Thousand Words

Sharing some moments via the “1000 words” model today…

For weeks, Nicholas asked repeatedly for a castle cake. Midway through I thought I'd ruined it, but like a phoneix from the ashes (and two batches of cream cheese frosting as glue)...well, anyway.

No picture can capture how adorable this boy is in the bathtub. I love giving babies baths.

Oh yes, and add this one to the list of disturbing images you see as a parent
