It’s fine to be nine! Hard to believe it’s Layla’s last year in the single digits. At nine, she is sweet, thoughtful, precocious, upbeat and will try just about anything. She has a great sense of humor, is very observant, a hard worker and lots of fun to be around.

For Layla’s ninth birthday she requested a nautical themed party. I was more than happy to oblige and had so much fun putting the day together and celebrating with her friends. We lucked out and got gorgeous sunny weather! Happy birthday, Layla. We love you!

Birthday dinner – sushi!

Our friends, the Smiths, visited from Singapore. Layla was so excited they could be with us on her birthday. We only missed Bjorn, who was away at college in the Netherlands.
