Shouldn't every 5 year old have their own digital?? (even if mom and dad end up deleting at least 90% of the photos:)) And you can even play games on it between photo shoots.
THE cake. For those of you who may be wondering, it's a race track, not a number 8. He turned 5, remember?! But even he was calling it his "#8 cake". I guess we can use this idea again in 3 years time!
With a few of his friends--Nathaniel Schulenberg, cousin Noah, and Allie Buist.
We certainly praise God for our 'little man', who is growing up so fast. Just in the past few months, he must've grown 4 or 5 inches taller. To be sure, most of his pants look like 'floods', but thankfully, fashion doesn't matter too much to this 5 year old!
It has been cool to witness him growing up in other ways too--he now enjoys going to school, is learning to ride his bike without training wheels, is looking forward to being on a soccer team this summer, and continues to love learning about God and the Bible. I think that attentiveness during Bible story time is what makes us the most proud of him! We pray that his hunger and thirst for God will continue to grow.

Congratulations Jonathan! You are growing up way too fast, that's for sure. Glad you had a happy birthday and love taking your very own pictures! How cool is that? Maybe your parents can blog some one of these days, eh?
I remember when we took a picture of Jonathan with Mathias (who will be 5 this Sunday) when they were both 3 months old and you were living in Hamilton! Time sure flies! Mathias would love a digital camera too! Congratulations Jonathan!
Happy Birthday Jonathan! Hope you had lots of fun on your day! Looks like you had lots of friends over to celebrate. Hope you didn't eat too many lollies. Say hi to Dad and Mum and Karlyn for us won't you. Take care.
Love from all of us.
Happy FIFTH birthday Jonathan! It looks like you had a pretty special day with your family and friends! Sara has the same camera as you, and her Mom deletes 90% of her pictures too! Have fun taking pictures!

Happy Birthday Jonathan! Its quite something how quickly they turn five!
Ian/Nadia, thanks for your post! You'll be in town for the Men's Retreat/Advance weekend, right? Would you like to come over for dinner on the Saturday after the men get back (we'd have room for your kids to sleep so the adults can chat a bit too) or lunch on the Sunday?(Whichever you prefer) Do you have my email address or phone number?
Your relatives in Ottawa have it for sure!☺
