Today, the Boy turned nine. It’s his last year in single digits, and we’re all wondering how we got to this point so quickly. That’s the same old story every birthday, though.

This year, most of the gifts from us are soccer-based: a new ball and new nets. He and the Girl tried them out after dinner.
