Malcolm and Nora had their birthday party at the Play Cafe on Sunday, February 5th, although poor Nora was sick with pneumonia and had to stay home.

Under the bright lights!


Malcolm enjoys his moment of fame.


With Joey, Elliot, and Max in the Swimmin' Hole.


Malcolm's and Nora's favorite inner child, Gail King


Really, I was reading the thermostat, not the pregnancy mag


Noreen, Owen, and Rachel survey the scene


Dave and Charmain goad Gail to take a dip in the swimming hole


The grown-ups had fun too (we hope)!


Malcolm prepares to blow out the candles: four for him and two for Nora.


Who me, excited?


Blow boy, blow


First piece for the birthday boy


Elliot wins the patience prize


What is Alaska doing down there?


Stop continental drift!


There's gotta be a way to have another birthday before next year
