Katherine's Birthday

We began Katherine's 14th birthday celebrations the night before by going to the county fair.

What a treat to experience the cultural phenomenon of animals and rides and funnel cake.

Even though Katherine's siblings couldn't come back to celebrate her birthday,

she did have a houseful of grandparents who joined us.

Katherine is currently measuring her growth against the height of her family members.

And she made her own birthday cake...

a chocolate, almond flour, chia seed cake with layers of peanut butter in between.

Birthdays for our last born look so different from year to year, depending on where we live,

but no matter where we live, we are grateful for the precious gift of our children.
