Teenagers, that is. Officially today, we are the parents of three. . . count 'em, THREE teenagers.
(And - we've discovered that we will never have MORE than 3 teenagers at once. Go figure!)
So somehow, in a few short, blink-of-an-eye years, we've gone from this. . . . .
To this.
To my lovely, Jane Austen reading, costume-designing, ballet-dancing, tender-hearted, beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, thoughtful, funny, charming, delightful Emily. . . .
Happy Birthday.
I'm so glad I have you in my life to tell me if my clothes match, if our house is decorated correctly, and if I'm embarrassing you too much.
You are a joy. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for your life!
And - just because I can - another very special picture:
Emily and Gretchen, friends since before they were born. Literally. Wish she could be here to celebrate the day with us!
And for the record? I think having three teenagers is pretty terrific :)

awww! Happy Birthday dear Emily! I love you sweet friend :)
She has really grown up all of a sudden this year.
Gracious! You made me cry! Wait til I show Gretchen - she will be calling this afternoon. The time difference got the better of us yesterday!
