Today is Juan’s 9th birthday. We started the day with his gifts and will end it with a dinner at the Fuddruckers (his request venue).

Juan inspired my first family website. It’s such a cliche to say “they grow up so fast.” But that’s because it’s so very true. He’s not a chubby-cheeked baby anymore—he’s a sleek pre-teen with a sharp wit and an impish smile.

Happy Birthday Juan.
