..... my boy, nine... who would've thought that it could happen so fast. His birthday is actually New Year's Eve.... which is followed by Kaarina's on New Year's Day- and we are never quite on the ball enough to celebrate them on the correct days. In fact, Kaarina is still technically three- I haven't quite figured out when she'll be 4 yet.
I took Pete, the 4 bigger girls and a couple of his friends to the pool this afternoon for a couple of hours then came back home and had cake, ice cream and mini sticks tournaments in our livingroom.... now he's officially nine- and gets more and more like his dad every day... which is a good thing. Love ya, dude.
