Baw Paw's Birthday

This past Sunday we celebrated my dad's birthday with a nice birthday dinner for the family. While I busily prepared dinner James and Mike took advantage of the nice weather and went for a swim.

James ate a whole artichoke by himself...might be his new favorite food (I'm sure the lemon-butter wasn't a factor ;-))
