It is my beautiful girl’s birthday today. Otilija turns 12! Such an incredible person - independent and clever and creative and gorgeous. She has always had attitude and is strong willed – nobody walks all over this gal! An interesting life ahead. xx

Happy Birthday to her! May her future be as bright and beautiful as her smile!
A big hug from Brazil!
( they grow really fast… oh my..)
Kathreen, do you ever see other 12 year old girls of people you know or sort of know and think what a great match thy’d be for your 12 year old girl? With the little you said and the 2 shots you sent, that is how I felt. My 12 year old has a writing and illustration blog that maybe your 12 year old might want to check out- Ava loves visitors she doesn’t know (and they are few, of course, since she is 12). Happy birthday!

I will tell her to take a look at your daughters blog – what a talented little artist she is!
My daughters (twins) turned 12 last week and it is such a lovely, confident age. Happy birthday!
happy birthday to your girl! 12 was a wonder age for my boys (and so are 15 and 13, … and 5, for my girl!). hugs.
Congratulations with your daughter!! Almost the same day as my twin girls, they turn 10 tomorrow :-)
Not as strong willed as your girl, but interesting life ahead of them nonetheless…
