Potter turns 9!

On Friday August 21st, Potter turned 9!! Hard to believe that this much time has gone by since we first became parents. We were headed out of town on Friday to go over to Chautauqua for a long weekend. Potter opened up some presents before we left, and the first one that he opened (actually the night before - shhhhhhh) was the Star Wars trilogy from Grandma and Grandpa, so we watched the first one that night before. How much fun to watch a movie that came out when Dave and I were kids, now watching it with OUR kids. Does that make us old? Anyway, it was fun, and now we have watched the first two movies in their entirety and have made it halfway through 'Return of the Jedi.' I can tell that this is a threesome that we will watch over and over and over. Molly was mostly into the part where Luke Skywalker gets his hand cut off by Darth Vader and Caleb is interested in the 'shooters' that all of the bad guys (ie: Storm Troopers) carry around. Potter, at his wise age of 9, actually appreciates the stories!!
