13 years old

Who is this little girl? So hard not to take a look back as our "little" girl becomes a teenager!
Irina - age 8

age 9

age 10
age 11
age 12
THIRTEEN?!?!?


We celebrated with a sweet and simple party with friends and brothers.
 Dinner, movie, cupcakes and birthday singing. Irina was delighted!


 Sunday, on her birthday, we celebrated some more. 
 Special breakfast, gifts, church, and a relaxing family afternoon. 
The boys each gave Irina special gifts and cards. 
Ethan stitched this matroyshka doll for her. 


After dinner out with my parents, we had more birthday singing and birthday cake. 
This has been a journey unlike any I could have ever imagined. 
Twists, turns, discoveries, and triumphs. 
You are God's precious gift, Irina. 
Follow Him with all your heart, and He will make your paths straight. 
We love you!
