Jack Turns 6!

First things first, Jack has grown a lot in these past 6 years, but he remains a cutie.

Tuesday morning was a bit rough all around, culminating with Jack unable to comply with my request of smiling for a picture before school. 

Not even the lure of a Clara, Jack, & Daddy selfie could shake that frown upside down.

I went into his classroom an hour later with donuts to discover a much happier Jack. Before we got down to the business of eating glazed donuts, his classmates sang to him.

Tuesday was an absolutely gorgeous day, so we hit the park after school. Zooming around on his scooter.

After leaving the park the kids played in the back yard before dinner, and we captured some pictures.

Having scarfed his favorite meal of "big pasta", Jack was excited for cake and ice cream - vanilla across the board.

Jack huffed and puffed and blew his candles out!

Tasty.

Time for presents!

"Ah baseball, but I like golf better."

Despite that fact he showed some secret baseball ability, knocking the ball across the back yard on his first try. Must have inherited his mom's stellar softball skillz!
