Jaci Dawn

Javan is a year old and he’s full of personality. He’s fairly mild tempered (so far) which is great because his older brother is very bossy.

I had the privilege of hanging out with the boys yesterday morning: farmer’s market and shopping garages. Zephan held my hand most of the time and looked woefully at the strawberries his mother bought at the market. He also told me about every truck that drove by and made certain that Jay-Phen knew what the rules were.

Later in the day, we all gathered at the kids’ place for strawberry shortcake and “Happy Birthday Choo-Choo.” And I took photos.

Javan is still cruising furniture. His brother proudly told me that is a “Soccer!” in Javan’s hand.

Oh, be still my heart! These little guys grow up so fast! Javan actually smiles a lot now.

The Director. Who, by the way, informed me that Don’s name is “Baba” and mine is “Gamba” or something like that. I just know it isn’t “Gamma” but sounds like Grandpa. He announced everyone who came to the door and he drooled over all the presents. Silly boy!

Well, he liked every present he got. Now that’s an easy kid to please. Wait until he’s 13…

Eating cake is serious business. And Strawberries. And whipped cream. The boy leaves no food untouched.

Then we left and headed home only to see a beautiful rainbow!

We were almost at a rest area when we saw it, so we pulled in to take photos. Every car that pulled in to the rest area did the same thing. It was pretty wonderful to see how many people saw that bow in the sky and had to pull over to snap a photo of it.

One last photo: Baba, Daddy & Javan. Javan kept climbing up in Baba’s lap.

Happy Father’s Day, gentlemen!
