We have a new teenager

Today is Monica's 13th birthday.

This is her, yesterday, at the State Fair. She brought a friend with her to see the Jonas Brothers show in the afternoon.

She's a happy girl.

Monica is a great kid...er...young woman. She's pretty smart and smartly pretty. As you know if you've seen an earlier post, she plays violin. She also plays field hockey and runs cross country and track (the mile.) She has a pet rat, Suzzie, and she has many people she calls friends. Many of them think of her the same way. (I'm kidding, Baby. That's Dad being sarcastic.)

We're proud and happy parents.

Happy Birthday, Monica!
