Today celebrates the 14th year of my wife giving birth to my oldest child. It was obviously a special day for all of us, but mom and I should have known from the delivery complications, this one was going to be a big pain in our patute for years to come.
Actually, she’s the kindest sweetest daughter one could ask for. She always does what we ask of her (although usually not the 1st time…or 2nd…or 3rd…) but eventually it gets done. (yelling, screaming, cr
ying…)
Last year she became a bat-mitzvah so obviously she spent this year thinking she’s a grown woman….YEAH – I don’t think so either….(something about britches and being to big for them or something!)…..but she is a TERRIFIC big sister to Shane and Addison. And she’s a great babysitter when mom and I don’t feel like dragging the kids around town.
Amber loves to dance and has already made the high school dance team…UGH – did I say high school??!! Where does the time go? She also loves to facebook and text and tell me everything I do is “old!” I’m sorry Amber, but Poison, Def Leppard, and Motely Crue are not “Oldies!”
Amber knows EVERYTHING…and if you don’t believe her, ask her..she’ll tell you! Of course, I don’t know where she gets that from (probably mom) and also most of her BAD habits…..(all the good one’s must come from ME!)
I look forward excitingly to see how my baby girl becomes more grown up this year as she begins her trek through high school. Hopefully the lessons her mom (and yeah me too, a little) will help guide her on her way out our door..uhhh, I mean towards college!
Amber, Your mom and I love you very much and hope you have a spectacular year!
