C turning 9 has been kindof a big deal to me. Not sure why. He is not the youngest, but there's just something about his face and his ways that I have always wished I could bottle up and keep forever ~ it's so sweet and innocent. This is now his last year before double digits, and that seems so old to me. So grown up. Yet I am also happy for him to be growing and becoming, just as God has planned!
His siblings gave him two different kinds of clay.
His first jackknife! (mom and dad - this was a real winner, as you can see by his face in this picture! Thank you!)
Book of treehouses. Oh the possibilities!
His own set of "real" tools.
And a kit to use them on!
We let C stay up long enough to build his kit. It was an old fashioned tool box.
Look at that concentration!
Ta-da!
A man with his tools.....what could be better?!
Happy Birthday to our sweet, intelligent, inquisitive, and creative young man! We love you!

Happy Birthday, C! 9 is such an exciting year. That one picture you took sure makes A look very tall! We pray that the LORD would bless you during this last year of single digits, and that He would grow you closer to Him. Blessings.
