Happy Birthday Hailey!

Amid all the fires and chaos yesterday, we celebrated a pretty momentous occasion in our family. Hailey, our oldest, turned 13. I can't believe we have a teenager. Hailey is such a wonderful first child and came into the world 13 years ago (two and a half week early) kicking and screaming...VERY LOUDLY. She hasn't slowed (or quieted) down since. Grandma made a big breakfast...complete with a candle stuck in her waffle and we tried to make the best evacuee birthday we could! I think all is well because she got to spend a couple hours at the mall with Mom and Grandma, which is always a hit with Hailey. Happy Birthday Hailey. No one could ask for a better first child. We love you. By the way, we returned home last night to clearing skies. All is well with us.
