They grow up so fast
I know, it’s a cliche…but Elizabeth turned 7 today, and she’s getting so big so fast.
It was not the best birthday party we’ve ever put on…birthdays are getting a little more humble around here, but we still had cake and ice cream and presents, and we went to the lake to go swimming.
We are in the midst of “birthday season” here at the ranch. We just had Juliana’s in June, Allena’s earlier this month, and Dominic’s will be in early August. Then Teresa in September and William in October. Then we get a few months off from birthdays :).

Oh just a few short days and the boy will be 16! 16 years! Where the heck did all those years go?
we’re getting old. Our first born is really well, a man now. Sadly, he’s more manly than a lot of men I know/have known in their 30s 40s and beyond.
We’ve done well with that boy in so many ways.
