Living In The Land Of Smiles

My family of four returned to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area in July 2013 after finishing our second international relocation (third, if you count our 3 years in Miami!). I originally began this blog in July 2011 to share the experiences of our life in the Land of Smiles and our travels around the region with our family and friends. Now that we are re-settled on U.S. soil, I will continue to post what, I hope, will be interesting observations about where we live and what we do and see.

How Can This Be?!?

Happy Birthday, Caitlynne!

Thirteen years ago today, at 5:40 pm, Caitlynne Rose was born. ACK!!! I am now the mother of a teenager! Turning 25 didn't bother me. Turning 30 didn't bother me. Even turning 40 didn't bother me. However, for some strange reason, having a child who is a TEENAGER just makes me feel so old.

Then...

And now...

She had a few friends over Friday night for pizza, cake and a sleepover. They watched movies and, while there was a lot of chattering and giggling, everyone settled down shortly after midnight and went to sleep.

Kevin returns very late tonight so we will celebrate her birthday properly tomorrow.

Have a great Monday!
