Happy Birthday, Butterfly!

Today is Butterfly's thirteenth birthday! We are celebrating with the festive meal of her choice and chocolate cake with Seven Minute frosting. Of course there's candles and gifts.

She was a tiny eighteen month old foster child when she first joined our family. I finally got to adopt her when she was three and here we are ten years later. Wow! The time has sped by. I imagine that it will only be a few blinks before she's off to explore the world on her own.

Children growing up. What an amazing event.

I'm so grateful to be blessed with the opportunity to be be their mother.
