happy 15th birthday, julia

Today was a great day, hot and stormy, lots of fun.

We had dinner at the Mexican restaurant in town, always great food and easy going.

 There were gifts:

 The peekers:

 Cupcakes!

 The storms went around us today, but plenty of wild weather to the south of here.

And that's the end of a beautiful day.

Julia-- my baby, our maraschino cherry on top of a big, giant family of sundae?

You, the grace note, the curlicue, the piece that makes everything just right?

We could not love you more.

Happy Birthday, Love, Mom and Dad and Everyone
