Chloe the teenager

Well, Frank and I have successfully raised two children to adulthood (as some cultures define it). Chloe has turned 13.

We marked this momentous occasion with a weekend of revelry. Chloe, MJ, and a revolving series of cousins celebrated with an hour's hot tub rental at Tubs in Seattle, followed by hours and hours of swimming and an overnight stay at Embassy Suites in Lynnwood. I am photographically impaired, so I only have photos of presents and cake in the room, but I will strive to post a couple of those later.

As for Mom and Dad, we are already enjoying life with two teenagers. They are fun and fascinating creatures. :-)
