9 years

It's a little hard to believe, but my firstborn is 9 years old today!  Since Sundays are always a little busy and crazy, we celebrated a little through out the whole week.  Today after church went to the boys Upward basketball celebration.  It was actually a LOT of fun!  They had a comedian/magician and he was really good.  He brought one of the players on stage (a seven year old) who was so chatty and said the funniest things.  I laughed so hard I started to cry!  After it was over I took the boys to one of our favorite places, Barnes & Noble.  I let them pick out a couple of books and then we headed over to Kroger to pick up a few groceries for the week.  Now, we are home for a couple of hours of Wii time before bedtime.  That's right, I said "Wii" time!  This past week we received a very sweet card and check in the mail for a Wii!  And yes, I cried about that too...it's a habit of mine.  I ordered it on Amazon and it was here within 2 days and just in time for Ethan's birthday!
Here's some pictures of my sweet birthday boy through the years.  He is such a blessing to me!
