My oldest is also 9. I am amazed too. I am quite often amazed at how tall he is. It is so neat so see the kind of young man he is turning into. And to still see the little boy I know so well too.

Oh Luke! Happy, happy belated birthday. Man, he looks so much older in that last photo. Thinking of your sweet mama.

Hi Stef… Congratulations to Luke and to you, too. I remember reading your segments as you awaited his arrival. Doesn’t seem that long ago. We have a son who will be 40 in another week. I can distinctly recall watching the raindrops on the American University of Beirut Hospital window while I awaited his arrival around 10 a.m. on a Tuesday — very, very concerned because he was being born full-breech. Expectant fathers weren’t allowed in the delivery room. In fact, as I peeked through the small opening between the swinging double doors, a delivery room nurse came over and put a length of masking tape over the space so I couldn’t see anything, only listen. Things, I hope, have changed for the better in the past 40 years. Our younger son, who will turn 38 in a month, was present and bedside for the delivery of both his daughters (the most recent, Delaney, on 6 Feb). Yes, we’re grandparents again, but have quite a way to go to catch up with Rick & Judy. Again, congratulations to Luke and his momma. Keep up the great writing and photo capturing. You are a delight!! j

It is amazing how quickly it flies by, isn’t it? My first little boy will be ten in July.

Happy Birthday! My boy just turned nine a few weeks ago. Isn’t it amazing -their ability to reinvent themselves into brand new versions of themselves that are, now, the best one yet? We are lucky to get to watch!

Happy Birthday to Luke! 9 is such a big number for me. It seemed we were crossing over into something different.
