The embarrassed birthday boy and my photobombing bird :}
Happy birthday to my lovely Morse.
He wasn't too keen on celebrating this year {as if he ever is}. He insisted on doing something for us instead. Something about having a day "about him" feeling "wrong" after everything that's happened.
I still made sure to give him his not-so-secret gift. He hissed at me a little for giving him anything, but I know he liked it :}
We had a family day today; we spent some time outside enjoying the warm weather. No tension. No arguments. It was really nice. I might take a break from journaling to focus on spending more of this peaceful time with them while it lasts.
