life's more fun when you can light a fire

I've not been posting much lately. It's not that I don't have things to say - I do. But many things are better left unsaid. So I'm trying not to say them.

Hopefully I'll have something postable soon.

In the mean time, here are some pictures from Joel's 7th birthday.













The cake I managed to construct for us at home!










The cake my friend Sylvia made for Joel's party.













Toasting mashmallows at our 'after dark' party. Life's more fun if you can light a fire. (We also lit up a tennis ball and kicked it around the yard, but the pics weren't great.)
