I apologise for the grainyness of the photo, but it was the only shot in which I actually captured Isaac suspending himself from the chair's rockers. He is a daredevil and having four older siblings seems to encourage his physical development faster than I could have anticipated.
He also has a very special relationship with his older sister with whom he shares a bedroom. They are listening to Johnny Cash on Dave's iPod. I guess I can't keep them from growing up.
An unbreakable bond between brothers: all carefully controlled by a woman.
And here is the birthday boy. Benjamin turned 6 on the 9th of May and I kept all the kids home from school to celebrate. This was his favourite present as he had begged for either a remote-control truck or a web shooter (a la Spiderman). We opted for his first choice as I didn't want to imagine the house after a day of web-shooting.
He also asked for camouflage clothing. He is a country boy through and through.
I threw some Lego in there and he opened the present and said, "I didn't ask for Lego." He smiled anyway.
Yet another pair of camouflage pants and a jean jacket from my parents. After Jacob and Hannah received jean jackets for their birthday he didn't want to miss out on the apparel; so, a jean jacket came in the mail from Halifax and he was all smiles.
He did smile for his cake but his eyes were closed so I included the second shot which was a bit more subdued.
Isaac enjoyed the cake.
And then the birthday food (cake, chips and hotdogs) made everybody sick. Really.

Great photos. Your kids keep getting even more good-looking as they grow up. And it's hard to believe HOW grown-up they are!
