Caroline Turned 13 This Weekend

It’s hard to believe, but Caroline turned 13 this weekend! We had a low key celebration with just the grandpas and grandmas. My mom made Caroline’s favorite chocolate cake for her. I should share the recipe because it is so good.

(If you’ve never read the posts, I wrote about her birth story and our struggles with childlessness.)




Here’s a shot of Caroline I thought I would share. We’re blessed with a delightful young lady in our home. ❤️

      Hi Merrilhyn,

      Caroline is a lovely girl both inside and out. I wish I could write more about her, but I’ve always tried to protect her privacy as much as possible. She’s a true blessing to us and many other people.
