That biggest of baby milestones is here. Rowan and Daniel are one year old today. We had a big party for them yesterday (because who wants to come to a party on a Monday afternoon?). It was a glorious autumn day. About 30 people showed up. There was lots of food, baloons, presents and -- need you ask? -- cake.

Daddy baked three cakes: a chocolate cake in the shape of a lion for Daniel, a carrot cake with an explosion of lollypops for Rowan, and for our friend Shaun James-Nielsen who shares a birthday with the twins, a white wine cake with chocolate frosting. The boys were absolute angels on their special day. "C'est parce que ils sont bien elévée,"* observed one of the ladies present.
That was nice to hear, but we suspect it's really because they're just naturally sweet-natured boys. So shed a tear and say good-bye to our little babies. Daniel and Rowan are officially toddlers now.

Daddy (a.k.a Tim)

* "It's because they've been raised well."
