  7. Happy birthday McKenna! That picture and what you wrote about her were so totally and completely sweet.

    I know exactly how you feel about her age. My daughter will be 13 years old in October and I’m really having a hard time with it. In a few short months I will have an official teenager living in my house. The thought of it totally blows me away.
