Fourteen!

My baby turned fourteen yesterday. Sniff!
But for all that I miss the cuddlesome baby girl, I adore the beautiful, smart, funny, strong-minded young woman she is becoming!

Kate had a friend over in the afternoon/evening (it was supposed to be a sleepover, but the friend unexpectedly decided to go home at 1:00 in the morning, but all things ran happily to plan up to that point!), and we went roller skating. A fine birthday.

And here is a bit of a photo collection for my poor neglected second child, for whom I not only never put together photo albums, but whose pictures I mostly never even got printed. Yet! Maybe I'll get it, but for now...

Happy birthday, darling girl!
