Our Friend Gilbert

We headed North for just a few days last week. We got to celebrate Gilbert's birthday while we were there!

Five years old!  Hard to believe it's been that long since Gilbert entered our lives.

What a sweet little face.

Starting to smile for real.

Look at all these people singing to me!


Delighted.


All five candles in one breath.


Justin bought Gilbert a tool box, so Gilbert had to help with the trim in Grandma's kitchen!

Earnest pounding.



For some reason, I only photographed boys during this trip!  Here is Mr. Hoyt, matching stripes with his mommy.





Lincoln was completely obsessed with Lily's old bumblebee costume.  The fact it was a skirt didn't deter him in the least.  I didn't get a picture of it, but he put the handle of a basket around his waist so the basket bottom was his stinger.  He was an enthusiastic stinger.


We might have to find a more masculine bee costume before Halloween.
