Twenty nine years ago today, my first child was born and happy doesn't even come close to describing the way I felt. Part of "living the dream" included raising children and this brought a richness to my life that I will always cherish. Today Kate is a wonderful woman, wife, sister, daughter and friend to all who know her. As much as I adored being a day-to-day mom to my little girls (and I truly did), now that they are grown and living amazing lives on their own, I love the moments we share together as friends, as family, as women who love and respect each other.
Happy Birthday, Kate!
So, you are saying I didn't take this picture just a few hours ago! :) It really was taken at approx 6:30pm on 10-22-1981? Truly amazing how time flies......Thank you for our beautiful daughters.
ReplyDeleteAw Kate was such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteYep, that makes it 29 minutes after she was born, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mom! I couldn't have asked for a better mom (or dad since I know you're reading this too) and hope I can live up to the high bar you've set when it's my turn.

Where are you going, my little one, little one,
ReplyDeleteWhere are you going, my baby, my own?
Turn around and you're two,
Turn around and you're four,
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door.
Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny,
Turn around and you're grown,
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own.
I have always loved those lyrics!
