Happy Birthday, Aaron!

Our younger son Aaron is 9 today.  Happy Birthday, man!

He has chosen Sakura for his birthday dinner, which is awesome.  Told him this morning “buddy, I sure am glad your favorite place is a place I like too!”  He just grinned.

He asked for oil pastels, a Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary, a Swiss army knife, and a camera for his birthday.  What an awesome list, right?  We told him “no son, you have to have candy and video games.  Sorry.”  Heh.  (Just kidding.  He’s getting everything he asked for.)

You scared me when you arrived.  You’ve been such a pleasure since.  Thank you for all of the smiles, all of the hugs, and everything you’ve taught me.  Looking forward to enjoying a bunch more.  Love you, buddy!
