Our oldest baby turns 13 today.  A teenager.  Only 1 year and 10 months until she can get her driver’s permit – yes she is counting down.  (Of course, if we move to another state, that number might change, but I’m not going to bring that up until I know for sure we are moving!).

As I reflect today on how I can possibly be married to a 40-year-old and have a teenage child, I thought I would share some pictures of the birthday girl.
