Thirteen Years with our Sweet Little Chile Pepper

I always assumed the universe was smirking at me, just waiting for the day my child turned 13. 

"Payback time!"

And here it is, and here she is, and how did I get so lucky? 

(I won't thank the universe for sparing me until Acacia is done with her teens however, because the smirk is still there and I think I know why...) 

Happy Birthday Cayenne. We celebrate your birth - and the beautiful soul you are.
