Day 165 - A New Era

It became official at 10:20 this morning - we have another teenager in the house. [The first teenager is our Rascal, who is somewhere between 16 and 17 years old]

To think, a mere 13 years ago, a tiny, 7 pound baby came into this world, after 12 hours of labor. Where did that little baby go?

Thirteen

No longer tiny, but still (mostly) sweet and beautiful.

To celebrate, we chose a yummy Raspberry Chocolate Cake from the local bakery. I haven't been in this bakery since they re-opened earlier this year. Still charming inside:

Erica chose tonight's dinner destination and we all ate cake after I took some pictures outside. Some would say the kids goofed off....

And finally a day without rain. A perfect way to start the "Teenage Era"

  1. Happy Birthday Erica...

    Shirley, it terrifies me how fast time flies by and this post really reminded my of that. Amelia is about to turn three...and I am sure the next 10 years will happen before I can blink my eyes!
