Alex is 9!

Alex turned 9 today. He was "Baby Alex" for so long, that it's hard to see him grown up reading Harry Potter (finished all 7 this summer) and building big Lego models.

Today for his birthday we went to the park and shot off rockets--the blue one didn't survive its last flight.In the afternoon, Grandma came to the pizza party--pizza for dinner and pizza-decorated cake for dessert.

We love that Alex is part of our family. He thinks of so many clever things that make us laugh! He was our wonderful surprise when the twins were not quite 3 years old. He was our best anniversary gift ever!!

Happy 9th Birthday Alex!

Happy 17th Anniversary Paul!
