Twenty One Years Ago, You Came To Our Lives

One and Two and Counting

Twenty One Years Later...
This blog has been quiet lately but something loud and proud happened lately in our lives - our daughter turned 21!   How did that happen so fast?  Surely, all things considered, parenting a child into a bonafide adult should rank high up there like earning a PhD or something- one that took 21 years to finish?  So, to celebrate her first adult birthday and my parenting feat - we chose to take a trip to a place that supposedly never sleeps - perfect for a girl who once racked up over 5000 minutes of talk time on her phone - in a single billing period!  The trip was short and sweet and being only four days - was decidedly frenetic.  And as it had always been since day one of this girl's life - it was a wild, crazy and exhausting ride but seriously fun and memorable.  This turning to Twenty One was surely a milestone not only for her, but for me as well - one that she gleefully marked acting like a boss in New York City and with me trying mightily to boss her around while I still could.
