29 years young

My baby is 29 today...

if you've been a parent, then your probably like me,

and wondered,

where does the time go?

It was like yesterday (sometimes) that I found out I was going to have my first baby.

Then, driving home from the hospital for the first time, taking the beach way so

my girl could see the Pacific Ocean, wanting it to be one of her first impressions.

It's hard to describe a person in so short a space, but if I say that Kimberly Summer is one of the kindest, most generous, friendliest persons on the planet I don't think anybody that knows her would disagree. She's also a free and WILD spirit. She can get into more trouble than any body I know. I knew I was in for it when her Kindergarten teacher said she'd not had a child like this before! But she makes me laugh, almost everyday, I love that she does that to me. I can't remember what life was like before her, she's been my best friend and mama's helper (even when I didn't ask her to) all my adult life. I may have let her down in the past, it's not easy parenting five children under 1o, or being the oldest of the lot...

yet she's done it with grace and dignity...

and now, here it goes again...

...my baby, and her babies, the doodles...

can life get any sweeter?

me and my bestfriends

my girls, my daughters

~Happy Birthday Sweetheart~

...and honey, 29 is NOT old ;)
