really, when did that happen?!?!

i have a 4 year old! i really can't believe it. it seems like only yesterday he was learning to crawl, and then walk. it is crazy. we have celebrated his birthday to death really. granny and pop came last weekend, before their bon voyage, to kick start the celebrations. on thursday we went to chuck e. cheese with 10 of fin's friends and then our dear friends from ithaca came for a sleepover celebration. then on saturday (the actual bday) we went to the national zoo with the in-laws (insert your own in-law/zoo appropriateness joke here). the grand finale was the presentation of his gift from jon and i. this picture really captures it...
