13 Birthday Parties

Today is Calvin's birthday. He would have turned 15 today. I thought in his remembrance I'd show you some pics from his previous birthdays. Sometimes the photographer didn't take very good pictures, or hardly an at all. (That photographer oughtta be fired!) But there are some good ones in here. Lots of him laughing, showing his love for fun, family, and most of all, life.


Calvin's 1st Birthday
We got a cake and he wasn't sure what to do with it. He finally dug in.



Grandma & Grandpa came down for Calvin's 2nd Birthday

He had some friends over for cake



Calvin had an exciting 3rd Birthday

He was pretty excited he had blown all the candles out

Time to eat yummy cake



Calvin turns 4

He just loves getting presents

He wore this cape constantly, as did his little brother



The 5th Birthday

Blowing hard to get those candles out and get that wish!

Playing games with his friends



Calvin made it to 6

Both of our families have been on quite the journey this past year. I have thought of you often. It is wonderful that you have pictures, stories, and wonderful memories to share until your family can be all together again.
