Our second child turned 9 today. It hardly seems possible that next year we will have two children in the double digits of 10 and 12. Lydia requested a date with Mom and Dad alone instead of a birthday party. Lydia's favorite place to eat is the "Panda Garden," which is a local Chinese place. We then took Lydia to spend some birthday money. Lydia decided she wanted to get her ears pierced and so we did that as well.
