Today, Peter turned 7. Katie and I are both a bit befuddled by the pace of it all.

7 more years and he’ll be 14, almost ready to drive. Another 7 and he’s 21, standing at a bar somewhere far from home ordering a beer.

Until then, here’s our little man, and his sisters, at school today.

Here’s a drawing/card I made for his birthday. It shows how I feel about this birthday… at 7 he’s ready with his bike, nordic skis, fins (the blue things), his writing, reading, and numbers, books and camera to set out on the adventure of life… towards driving, moving out, travel, and who knows what hills, valleys, and summits beyond.

His birthday this year is a wistful mix of pride, excitement, and sadness that he’s growing up so fast and so well.
