Where has the time gone?

Well, 10 days ago my first born turned 9 years old. It really made Tod and I stop and wonder where all of the time had gone... Don't get me wrong, we are thrilled that he is growing up, just a little bit sad that he's not our cute, chubby, no back talking, little boy anymore. He is growing up very nicely. We did have a rough year or two that I never thought we would make it trough, but we did and we have come out even stronger on the other side. Caleb really has become a delight and it is so wonderful to see him stretching his wings, learning new things, yet still looking back to take our hand when he needs it. Here are some pictures from 01/11/09:

The Birthday Boy and my mom (who shares her birthday with him), Caleb was making his wish in the first picture., enjoying his yummy Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake in the 2nd, and hanging out with Grandma in the third.

Finally, a picture of Colin who was doing his best to wait patiently for his cake.
