Happy birthday, Daniel

Daniel turned six this month. Whoa. He is no longer a little kid. He is growing up so fast, but it is so fun to watch. He is a goofy kid, loves to joke around--especially with his friends, but is also still very sensitive to others. He cares a great deal about his younger brothers, and is always quick to give them hugs or help teach them to do things. Daniel is very smart and loves his kindergarten class. He is our engineer, building crazy contraptions out of superstructs, legos, cardboard, and anything else he can get his hands on. He's a great kid, and we love him very much. :)

 Daniel doesn't allow for many pictures to be taken of him, but he did let me take a few when we were visiting Grandma on the farm recently.

 LOTS of missing teeth. 

 Mid-thought.

 Jumping.

 Here's some of that goofiness I mentioned...

 Tall enough to reach the branches!

What a handsome guy...can't believe he's already six.
