Yes, Austin is the big 9 today. B-days are happy and sad for me because it's fun and exciting, but then it also means they are getting older and I have less time with them. I know...empty nest syndrome already??? I am WEIRD. On the note of children growing older, I myself must be getting old. I remember the days I had huge crushes on the missionaries and they seemed so grown up and mature. You know...a REAL man, haha. Now I look at them and see my own boys through their eyes and how they will be there in 10 more short years. One thing I have learned from having children is that time is fleeting and it never stands still.
Happy birthday Austin...We love you!
