Twenty-two years ago on this date, our babies were born. Every year since then we have celebrated their birthdays with them, but it didn't work out for us to be in Santa Barbara this year. Hopefully, we'll have a little get together next month.
Anyway, when I was at work today, somebody congratulated me on my daughters' birthdays. It seemed a little odd for a minute to be congratulated for Mandi & Beckie's birthday, and then I really thought about it. We did it! We successfully navigated all the childhood illnesses, pre-teen dramas, middle school madness, high school craziness and then the college years...we are this close to having survived it all! Our daughters are all adults - intelligent, well-adjusted and truly good people. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I am really proud of my daughters and who they are becoming.
We are starting to plan for Mandi & Beckie's graduation now. It's going to be a big event and we are really looking forward to it. I know they are the ones who have done all the school work, but it's going to feel like a big accomplishment for us, too.
So, Happy Birthday, Girls! (But Yay! for us, too!)
