The Best Gifts

Yesterday was Kevin's birthday. With him working at night, we tried to make the morning before school feel extra-special. Frantic shopping trips, midnight cake-baking, morning icing & sprinkling...picture flour in the hair...all unnecessary. Elliot gave his papa the simplest, most beautiful gift he would receive:

On Kevin's birthday morning, after hearing Ana and I discuss this special day many times, Elliot looked at him and said, "Happy Birthday."

Tears in cake, on rainbow-colored tissue changing its color...


Happy Birthday, Kevin! Your love inspires ALL of us to be our best selves.
