Milo is five and a half. As per tradition, we threw him a half birthday party.

This has been a soggy stormy week. California needed the water -- they're saying that this year could break the drought -- so it's no bad thing. If we could phone in a wish to the Big Weatherman Upstairs, it would be for a tad more show with the rain: you know, thunder and lightning and hail. All the steady drip drip drip is BORING!
