This is 15.

Phone in hand, covering her face to get by me as quickly as possible.

Volleyball, Snapchat and AirPods take priority these days.

...while her Mom and I fall a few further rungs down the ladder.

We get it.

Life is good.

Fast and furious...

...and sometimes frazzled.

And this kid...

...well, she's crushing it.

I won't embarrass her much more.

You make us proud kiddo.

Keep at it.

We love you.

Happy Birthday!!!
