Fourteen

Back in December, Alayna turned 14. She wanted something simple. Ice cream cake and a trip to the Melodrama. That's what she got. My parents were here to celebrate as well as take her out for dinner. We're so proud of the young woman she is growing up to be. She's so kind, thoughtful, intelligent, creative and sensitive. She's still very much a teenager, though, prone to avoiding adults, spending most of her time in her room on the phone and moodiness.

Happy Birthday, Alayna! Thanks for being the best daughter ever!
