I am attaching some photos of Halfdan taken this morning. It is his first birthday and he has grown into a handsome, sweet and loving fellow. We love him dearly and cannot imagine our lives or home without him. One of the photos shows him with his birthday present, a blue squeaky bone, which Big Sister Maggie promptly stole from him! But he's managed to get it back and is busily squeaking it while sitting at my feet as I type this. He's so funny!
Enjoy the holidays.
Jack and Mary
