I'm Glad I'm Not Thirteen

I have a daughter.

She's beautiful and intelligent and funny and talented and creative and compassionate.

She's also a thirteen year old girl, which means there is sometimes drama.



Here is Audrey at Zoolights at the Oregon Zoo with "Latonka." Even though it was "Latonka's" family who took the girls, I'm crazy-pleased with this picture, because both the girls are wearing fingerless gloves of my own knitting.

Here's Audrey with another friend. We'll call her "Boris."

I took none of these pictures. All but one are Audrey's digital self-portraits, and she did the alteration on the first two herself.
