Laurence is 5!

I can't believe my youngest one is already 5! Although yesterday was a bittersweet day for me, Laurence was glowing with happiness. His special day started like all little ones' birthday here; with the table all beckoned with shining presents.

He spent the morning playing with his new toys, and in the afternoon we all went to the park. Being a country boy, this truly was a treat for him!

The park has a beautiful lake with ducks and geese.

I love his look of glee as he hoped off the slide!

Thinkers!

Oh, the merry-go-round was going fast!

And faster! Just look at his face!

Of course if there are trees, my monkeys will climb them.

Check who is up there?

Do you see Raphael at the very top! Yikes!

A huge excavator was parked right at the entrance of the park. Isn't it any five year old little boy's dream to have his picture taking in front of such a marvelous machine?

As soon as we got back home he ran to his room to play with his new market stand.

Then we had ice cream and cake. Yum!

How I wish we could have share with Grandmaman!

Bonne Fête, GRANDMAMAN!
