Stephen Turns 7!

The other huge event in December (besides Christmas, of course) is Stephen's birthday.  This past December 21, our little puppy turned 7.  The multi-day extravaganza included a visit from Nonni, a trip to an indoor "skate park" to ride scooters, and a gymnastics birthday party with Stephen's friends.  The skate park was quite an experience.  This drab, warehouse-like building in an office park was populated by slack-jawed, low hanging pants wearing teenagers whizzing around on skateboards, jumping and doing tricks.  To the bemusement of the regulars (and of his parents), Stephen forged right into the fray, motoring around on his scooter and avoiding grievous injury.  Stephen never gave even the slightest hint that he did not belong, or that there was anything unusual about a seven year old on a scooter steering up and down a skateboard halfpipe.  .  For those of you who know Stephen, this will come as no surprise.

Here are some photos of all the festivities.
