THIRTY like B.I.G. 30...

It is unreal to me that my baby is thirty, like unbelievably real. I mean I am only 25 so how can she be 30? Right?

Oh well, it's been a memorable thirty years for sure. And now that she is a mother herself I think she undertands some of the parenting hurts and issues we hinted at as she was coming up. Parenting is not for the faint of heart. Nor might I add is aging. It is fun to see your adult child adult, it is also sometimes hard. Taking a step back is hard but necessary so they can be their own person. You pray they are honest, kind, caring people and you know you did your best to model this behavior for them. She was raised in an environment where service to others was expected, kindness was the norm and caring was a given. 

We are proud of the human she is. We hope she continues to exude truth through her words, show kindness to others and assist the less fortunate when possible. This world needs good people and we try to be the kind of people who make our world better and that is the hope we have for her and her little family. It's a big one moving into the 3's but one you can do with class. You go girl! 

Most recent photo I have :/

I hope you got to sleep in this morning, that you were treated special by the other two and that you didn't dread the BIG 30 too badly. It's just a number...ask your dad! He's facing double nickle next month!
