One decade ago, today

Petra made her entry into the world, eleven days past her estimated due date and weighing in at a hefty 9 pounds, 1 ounce (4135 grams). We celebrated her day with presents in the morning, a family bowling excursion in the afternoon, and two Splatoon cakes served with homemade peanut butter ice cream in the evening. She told me just before she went to bed that she thinks it may be the best birthday she ever had.

Ten years old!
