Celebration...

So how did we celebrate the big 9? Well, we had 2 parties! We did one with school friends over the weekend that included, what else, football! G was "all-time quarterback" and the boys picked teams and really had a great time. We tried this a few years ago when Lu turned 6 and it was a disaster! This year was so much better - one of the good things about being 9; they can handle the game a little bit better!
Party #1:




Party #2 was extra special - we celebrated with our 2 closest friends...these boys have been at each others parties every since they each turned one. This year I picked them up after school and we went to a park to celebrate. Since they all go to different schools, it was one of the first times they had all been together to simply play and enjoy the day this fall. They had a great time!

OK - you asked why is 9 so special? It's because you're half way done - in 9 more years, he will be 18, and, as far as the world is concerned, anyway, a grown man.

For me, that's when I cried. When Kate turned 9 and I realized that in 9 years she would leave my house.

Isn't that hard to believe?!?!?!?
