This little man brings so much happiness to me I can't even explain. It is hard to see my youngest get older. It would be nice to keep him small for a while. This is a photo of August at Smeeks candy store in Phoenix on his birthday. Smeeks carries a lot of the old candy I remember growing up. My phone takes pretty good photos don't you think?

What does August love?

• well me, and his dad, and of course his sisters and grandparents.

• preschool and his teacher Kerry

• the Wii

• Nutella, peanut butter, marshmallow sandwiches.

• Tom and Jerry

• his friends

• my butternut squash soup

• pudding

• prayers in the middle of the night to fight off the bad dreams

• bar soap he discovered just a few days ago at Grandma's

• bowling

• playing board games
