We have had a history of having themes for each of the kids’ birthdays. For Liam’s birthday this year, we did a “secret agent birthday bandit” theme. It was rumored that the Birthday Bandit had been lurking in the neighborhood, stealing presents from birthday parties. Sure enough, while we were outside playing with Liam and his guests, the Birthday Bandit found our house and stole the presents. Fortunately we found enough clues hidden around the house to recover the gifts and unmask the thief. Here are a few photos from the preparations and day of the party.

Shhh! It’s Liam’s Birthday
Jun 24

Our friend, former neighbor, and Abraham Lincoln historian Erika Holst had her first book, Wicked Springfield, published last month. She’ll be signing copies at the local library on Thursday evening–I’ve put some details on my photography site. Hope to see you there!
Our friend and mentor Dr. Bob Lowery shares a wonderful interaction he recently had with his granddaughter. Take a moment to be blessed.
