THE BABY TURNS....30 YEARS OLD TODAY.....

Thedaughter (Carrie) turns 30 years old today. I no longer have any children in their 20's and life still goes on. It has been a roller coaster over her 30 years, but I wouldn't trade a single moment for anything else. **She may wish she could erase or rerun some periods of time - but...that's life!

If I had a scanner, I could place some pictures here of her cute and adorable stage(s) - such as a newborn, when all she did was eat, poop, pee and cry. Man, now she is lucky I don't have the scanner!! She came into this world at 5 pounds 3 ounces, and was so tiny. Here goes the saying "just look at her now!" My babies got smaller with each one, and I always said if I had a fourth - I wouldn't even need to go to a hospital - just shoot that kid out and go on cleaning! :)

She is a beautiful young woman with the most adorable, loving 9 year old son (light of my life).

She has a so-so job which she goes to every single day, and is sometimes appreciated and sometimes denigrated for at work. another wonderful life experience.

I WISH HER ALL THE HAPPINESS AND LOVE IN THE WORLD

FOR THIS MILESTONE IN HER LIFE AND MANY

MORE TO COME!!!

LOVE YA CARRIE.......

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO THESON!

Theson has hit another milestone today...the big 3-0!! And I am amazed he has made it this far with some of the antics and scares he has put me through. No, honestly, he has been a wonderful son, doing the strange things "kids" do - to keep their parents on their toes.

To meet him in person, he truly does not appear as he really is. He marches to his own drummer, is quite intelligent, and hilariously funny.

I am also amazed he has made it to this ripe "old age" and still hates to initiate - PHONE CALLS. I think he would rather have a heart transplant than to have to actually call someone to finesse a deal, make an appointment or just shoot the shite.

He is an engineer for a large corporation and travels all around the world - as a matter of fact, he will be leaving for Egypt (for a year) the first of the year (January).

I just want everyone to know how proud I am of my son. He is honest (almost to a fault), loyal and monogamous. To have him as a friend is truly a delight. To have him as a son is pure JOY! He is the best "Uncle" to his nephew (thegrandson), and a true buddy to B-Town Boyz. Emma gets a big chunk of his heart also!

Guess this all sounds like a proud mother's ravings...so be it....enough said.

LUV YA BUNCHES! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, blah, blah, blah!!
