A birthday party ain't a birthday party without cheesecake.

These are in reverse order, just to warn you. These are from Jude's b-day (and the day before).



Jude demonstrating his newly invented water sport: bark skipping. Look at that beautiful form!




It's hard to see Jude in this one (he is the one in the middle), but I wanted to show this late day scene on Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver with the backdrop of mountains and oceanliners. Jude adores swimming and here he is aided by a swim ring. This is his ideal b-day.




And it ain't ideal without cheesecake. Yes, a boy after my own heart: "What kind of cake do you want for your birthday? Cheesecake (with chocolate graham cracker crust and mini-chocolate chips in it)!"




This is the inseparable siblings hamming it up in Jude's bed. They are best buds, which means, yes, they can annoy each other with immaculate success.
