Ah yes, birthdays always make me a bit sad. She's growing up so fast, but then I get to look forward to all the fun that she can have with her new found maturity

She's getting another bodyboard for her birthday, because Peter hasn't finished glassing her surfboard yet, but it should be ready in time for spring. In the meantime, I've been taking her swimming a couple of times a week, which is good time for us together, as well as practice for her. She also lost a top tooth yesterday, so her birthday pictures should be...interesting
