Happy Birthday, Alexandra!

A few hours ago ... at 8:32 p.m. (I'm such a stickler for detail), my youngest daughter turned 13-years-old. I am now officially the mother of two teenagers. Alex tumbled into the world on a cold, Tuesday evening in a hospital room overlooking Lake Michigan. She is still full of energy and fills our lives and home with her laughter and craftiness; but, will always be daddy's little sweet pea and my little monkey.
