Happy birthday, Matthew!

It's hard to believe that our first baby and resident genius is going to be a double-digit age in one more year, but for now, we'll just celebrate Matthew turning 9 years old today. Chris and I like to reminisce about his first minutes, when the nurses first placed him in her arms. He made an immediate impression in the way that he calmly looked around studying his surroundings, and his curiosity and independence have not let up ever since. Happy 9th birthday, Matthew! We love you!
