Nine years old!!

Well, we have a nine year old. Just like that. Someone pointed out to me a couple weeks ago that at age nine we are at the halfway point (theoretically) of a child's life at home. NOT excited to think this way. 

He got up so so too early on a school day. By the end he was totally exhausted.  He builds up SO much for such things that he is obviously saddened as their end approaches. But he said it was the best bday ever. 

Lesley and I went and ate lunch with each of them that day, working from home. 

Yes they like some school lunches and as crazy busy and tired as we are these days, we welcome the chances to NOT make lunches in the morning. 

Ate at favorite restaurant that night. I really like this little series of pics of both boys at restaurant. 

On the following Friday we had a bunch of friends over, play bball at school and had pizza and ice cream. 

Crazy but fun fun times.  And I am so happy and thankful to be doing this with Lesley.
