The Blumes
A young girl is standing in a narrow canyon, surrounded by towering rock formations. The canyon walls are rugged and craggy, with various shades of brown and tan. A clear stream flows through the rocky bed, creating a peaceful ambiance. The girl wears a purple jacket and black shorts, with a backpack strapped to her back, suggesting she is on a hiking adventure. Her white hat shields her face from the sun's rays that filter down into the canyon. She stands confidently with her hands on her hips, exuding a sense of accomplishment and wonder at the natural beauty surrounding her.

This girl is finally in the double digits! When asked how it feels to be 10, Juliette said, “It feels like a dream.” 😴 💫 Over the past year, we’ve witnessed her become braver, more engaged, and even more confident in her abilities. From being our most reserved and cautious (when it comes to athletics and adventure) in her younger years, to completing epic hikes of Cadillac mountain and Half Dome this year, Juliette has come a long way. She ends a 16-mile hike feeling incredibly proud of herself and cries when she isn’t allowed to climb the sheer face at the top of the mountain. Her artistic skills continue to amaze us. Whether she’s drawing cartoons, building with LEGOs, or crocheting for the first time, she blows us away with her innate creativity. Even though she’s now a preteen and becoming more socially conscious, she unashamedly displays her love and affection for us through giving the best snuggles. We love you, Juliette! Happy 10th Birthday!
