Happy Birthday, Nick!

Today Nick turns 10.  Double digets at last, he says! 

Such an exciting time for him!  Getting older, more responsibilities, more freedom...
Not so much!  It is exciting and great for him.  He doesn't realize how much he can't or isn't doing compared to his friends.  He's just happy!  That's all we want.

Today is always a bitter sweet day.  Happy for Nick, sad for us.  One more year down, how many more do we have?

I am going to hang out with Nick today and enjoy his day with him and try not to think of his future, at least for this one day...
