The Resident Entomologist has a Birthday

Have I told you about the most remarkable birthday gift I ever received?  It was the most amazing, unique, perfect gift ever.  My firstborn child was laid in my arms and it became a day much more special than a day I had celebrated every year...  It became the day we celebrate together...  <3  I love you sweet Malachi!!

This year, in honor of his budding entomology interest, we threw him a buggy birthday.  He had a sugar cookie spiderweb and chocolate cake with spiders adorning the icing.

I can't believe how much he's grown....  I am so proud of the young man he is becoming.  He already possesses strong leadership qualities and is such an inquisitive sort. He truly makes this day special for me. <3
