A LITTLE OLDER

So behind. BUT. The oldest two are a little older (almost a month ago. oops). 9.30. My number two became a teenager. He is a tough nut to crack - now more so than ever. He is passionate about his interests, still loves playing the euphonium, and has a solid group of friends. 10.08. My oldest turned FOURTEEN, which is wild because I remember being that age. He stands a solid 7 inches over his brother - and isn't even quite a full year older. The two are as different as night and day (but they also have similarities that neither is willing to admit to). Feeling a little sentimental because this is the end of the chalkboard era for birthday pictures.
