This has been a momentous week in ways both expected and unexpected.
Expected: Our hero turned five!
Unexpected: At his five-year physical today, we learned he is in the 92nd percentile for BMI.
Expected: Summer has continued to bring a variety of types of weather, most of which are beautiful.
Unexpected: One of these types has weather has resulted in me currently bailing out the basement, one five gallon bucket at a time.
Expected: One day, words written by Papa Bear would appear on this blog.
Unexpected: That occasion would arise while he was taking dictation for me while I was bailing (see aforementioned bailing).
Expected: some blog posts will be longer than other blog posts. 
Unexpected: The blog post marking a half decade of the existence of this blog would be among the shortest. Thank you all for your love and support over the last five years. A more thoughtful post on this momentous occasion will follow in drier times.
