Nine is Fine!

Our oldest son has turned 9. This is both a blessing and a challenge. A blessing in that Jacob has been here with us, creating memories for 9 years, and a challenge because 9 year olds are tough to raise. He has become so independent and is really growing up. He is starting to test the household boundaries and can be defiant at times. All of these behaviors are trying, but healthy. It's really quite interesting to see Jacob trying to find his interests and place in this world. He is really growing up.

We had a wonderful party for Jacob at a local recreational place. Jacob and all of his friends had a wonderful time. It was a great party and this really celebrated his 9 year old birthday!

Happy Birthday triple cheese... we love you!
