Quiet Day

Yesterday was Offspring the Second's birthday.  He is a reserved individual who thoroughly dislikes fanfare, particularly when it concerns himself -- and so, we respected his wishes not to have a celebration.  Nevertheless, we did get him a small gift and made him a cake.  He is one of our favorite people, and we cannot help but enjoy the fact that he has graced this Universe with another year of his presence.

Happy birthday, introspective, witty, and marvelous Offspring the Second.

The homemade ice cream cake - a homely, though heartfelt, confection.
