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?



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....

....especially Brian....


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