Mother Nature is providential. She gives us twelve years to develop a love for our children before turning them into teenagers.
~William Galvin
Jessica became an official teenager on Thursday –though she’s had the drama queen attitude and door slamming technique perfected for quite a while now.
My parents were vacationing in Williamsburg, so the girls and I took a road trip to visit them last weekend and celebrate Jessica’s birthday. We had a great time and Jess really enjoyed her party.
Just thought I’d share a video…please excuse the singing 
Happy Happy 13th Birthday Jessica

LOVE the quote by Galvin! It expresses exactly what I believe.
