Peter is progressing on in his teenage years, having turned 14 yesterday. There is another man-voice in the household, and I continue to be amazed at how quickly that happens! I blinked my eyes, and baby Peter with his deadpan serious facial expression suddenly grew into a young man.

We celebrated with birthday pancakes–ones that he did not have to make (or clean up!).

This was P. Stephen’s 14th round of birthday pancakes.

He is known as “Breakfast Dinner” by Molly, as he is one who feeds her her two meals every day. When she’s waiting for a meal, we often ask her, “Where’s Breakfast Dinner?” and she begins to look around for Peter. He gave her a pancake appetizer yesterday morning.

We love this handsome young man and love seeing him grow up in every way.
