it’s official.

He’s a teenager.

To be completely honest, he’s been a teenager since December.

But we got home with Clementine 8 days before he turned 13.

I’m just glad he actually had a cake. And presents.

Dalton13-4

Because mama was jet-lagging. Bad.

Dalton13-5

So bad, I’m not 100% sure I remember everything that was actually going on at his party.

Dalton13-10

Other than cake and ice cream (so grateful I took pictures), cards, presents and the usual birthday chaos.

Dalton13-16

As you can see, my travel-partner was feeling the jet lag pain, too.

But Miss Clementine? Not so much.

Dalton13-19

Regardless of my and my husband’s mental state at the time, I’m so glad we celebrated.

Dalton13-22

Because turning 13 is absolutely worth celebrating.

Dalton13-13

And this guy is, too.

Happy 13th, Dalton. You might be well on your way to becoming a man, but no matter how big you get, or where this life takes you, you’ll always be my baby.

proceed with caution

a dirty secret in adoption
we don't celebrate gotcha day
there's no such thing as an easy adoption
if I can, you can.
co-sleeping, why we do it.
gawsh. the series.
crazy
affording adoption
God and me.
