We officially have a teenager in the house! Emily turned 13 on the 3rd (obviously) and we celebrated with a pool party on the 2nd, followed by a small sleepover that night, followed by a small family party on the actual birthday. I left for Switzerland on the 4th, so it has taken me a while to get a post made, but at last here we are!
She requested chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, which we had, but then there were leftovers. Emily was a trooper, though, consuming probably three cupcakes on the day of her party and two cupcakes on her actual birthday. It was a tough job, but she managed to suffer through. LOL.
All of that chocolate must have given her the energy to grow because I returned from Switzerland to find that she is now as tall as I am. We confirmed it both by standing in front of the mirror together and with a tape measure. It appears that she is now 5'1"! Needless to say, she is pretty pleased with this.
Meanwhile, the summer seems to be flying by! Later this week, Emily will fly to MN for two weeks (with Abbie), then she will be back in Texas for two weeks before her two week summer camp at the end of July. Once that is over, it will be August and we will already be thinking about the new school year. Crazy how quickly the time goes.
