Go Koji Go (Get It? Five in Japanese is "GO"...)

Our son is five years old. I find it unbelievable that it's already been five years since Easter 2003, when we first met Koji. Here's how he looked:



And here's who he's become:



That's right, we used his fifth birthday as an excuse to buy a trampoline. I think we pretty much got our investment back right at his party; the kids had that much fun jumping, and praise God, we avoided major injuries!

We had other birthday party trappings, of course. Our pinata was kind of a bust, and I mean that literally. The kids barely tapped on it and candy started gushing out. I guess that could have been a good thing, from their perspective, but I wanted them to work a little harder!

Here's this year's cake. The whole party was meant to have an open hand=five kind of a theme to it, but this hand came out looking more gorilla than human. Oh well.



Happy Birthday, Koji Lucas. We love you!



If you have a lot of free time and would like to see every last party picture, then be my guest!

Jamie,
You truly have the most beautiful babies (even when they are not so baby-ish anymore). :)
