A Tale of Two Sons: Happy Birthday, Dylan! 10 Years Old Today!!

Today Dylan turned TEN! It's hard to believe how he's grown, physically and emotionally. Since his last birthday, he's continuing to grow into his very important role as Big Brother to Ryan. He is very patient with Ryan and has taught him a great deal already. They share a room his presence has given Ryan a sense of comfort and belonging.

Dylan is doing very well in his 3rd Grade studies. He is above grade level in Reading and is developing strong Math skills, too.

We're looking forward to our spring break vacation in Mexico in a few weeks.

For his birthday, Dylan got a big time custom made skateboard from Fairman's - one of the best skate shops around. We picked it up today and he's been beaming all day.

We enjoyed a birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse - one of D's "go-to" places.

We are very proud of the progress he's been making and are psyched that he's now be able to answer "Ten" when he's asked how old he is! Life in our house is a lot of fun right now with our TWO 10-year olds blazing the trail for their younger siblings.

Remember, "every family needs a Dylan"...

We love OUR Dylan very much.

Happy birthday, D-man!
Love,
Mom & Dad
