10 years come and gone so fast, I might as well be dreamin'

Well, here he is, with and without the Darth Vadar mask. Our first born, helper extrodinare, maker of muffins, reader to all siblings, and blessing to his parents and grandparents, our Jonathan, turned 10 yesterday and Dirk and I still cannot believe it. Was is really that long ago we were living in a tiny apartment in Chicago, timing contractions while watching the Bull's season opener? Oh where does the time go...Jay (his prefered name) is 10, we have 5 other little ones and are now Spurs fans. Amazing. As he told me when discussing birthday plans: " Mom, Im a DECADE now! Its a big deal!"

WOW! A decade worth of living is a BIG deal!

Your handsome first born Darth Vadar son is extraordinary in so many ways! And he's been blessed with amazing parents, fantastic siblings, stellar aunts and uncles, incredible grandparents, and so much more...

What a testimony of God's goodness and faithfulness. Here's to another decade of growth and satisfaction!

And he doesn't even care that his brother went to McDonals AND DQ in the same day! When you put the Darth Vadar mask on you actually sound taller.

We hope the Force will be with J for the next decade, too.

Happy Birthday J! When we met you, we thought that you were the coolest 2 year old, now you are the coolest 10 year old we know! (You're getting old!)

Love,
Neal and Janice
