The most memorable part of my birthday on Sunday was the cake that Beau made for me. Saturday night he baked layers of lemon cake. Sunday morning I helped him mix up some buttercream icing then left him to tint the icing and decorate the cake.
Standing just outside the kitchen, I watched him get started. Casey and Britt were standing by to help, and I heard Beau tell them, "The first thing we need is a crumb coat."
A crumb coat! My 10-year-old son knows what a crumb coat is. I'm so proud. And happy.
Someday he'll endear himself to his girlfriend by presenting her with a homemade cake on her birthday. And he'll break my heart.
