The family eat breakfast together

Before Mateo is allowed to open a few gifts – the rest have to wait until after school though!


And despite it being his birthday, Mateo still has school, so off he goes with his siblings, to his final day of grade school

In the office, Salim receives a phone call from his office. They loved the adoption piece, and he received $175 in royalties for it.

They then give him a new assignment, which he gets straight to work researching

Outside a thunder storm is raging, so Kate heads outside to watch it, remembering all the summer storms she sat through back when she was living in Willow Creek

Seems like forever ago!

The couple spend their afternoon watching TV and cuddling with Tiddles, who is loving the free time this couple have for him now!

Luckily the weather clears up just in time, as the kids return home from school

Leia gives Mateo his gift from her

And hugs him, wishing him a happy birthday

Before heading upstairs to get ready for her date

Heading off to meet Harry for coffee (we’ll be staying here with Mateo!)

The birthday boy’s friends soon arrive for the evening, and he greets them happily

They spend some time on the karaoke machine, singing poorly but having fun regardless!

Before heading outside to play in the garden too

While Mateo plays on the swings with Jeremy, some of his friends are on the monkey bars

And before long it’s time for Mateo to blow out his candles

And as his friends and family celebrate

Our little Mateo becomes a teen!

Oh, I remember the day he was born! A little brother for Leia, a son for the newly married couple…

He was so cute!

And now a teen, Mateo and his friends (as weird as it looks now they’re all still kids and he’s as big as an adult! This game needs heights!) raid the snack table

Enjoying pizza, chips and cookies

Soon after Leia returns home, wishing her now teen brother a happy birthday

Before excitedly telling her Mother that Harry asked her to prom! Aah!
After agreeing to take her dress shopping after school tomorrow, Kate heads over to her son

To officially wish her baby boy a happy birthday

Followed quickly by Salim, who still can’t believe his son is basically a man!

But as the night rolls on the family must head to bed, with school and prom dress shopping on the schedule tomorrow!
Mateo heads to bed in his new room, complete with a new computer from his parents, posters, a new bed and of course, his pet guppy, the first fish he ever caught!

And as the rain starts again over the house, it’s the sign of the end of another day!
What will happen next? How will prom dress shopping go? Will Leia find the perfect dress? What else will happen?

Find out next time!
