Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you.....

Today is my favorite daughter's birthday. My baby girl is 19!!! She asked me today, "Does that make you feel old?" I said, "Nah, you getting older doesn't make me old." Just you wait til your kids call you old.

We took Brittany to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. It was her request and don't we always give our kids what they want?



Isn't she so pretty? Sometimes I look at her and I still can't believe that she is mine. The years have really gone by way too fast. Sometimes I see really cute girl clothes at the store and I wish she were little again.

Brittany, you have been and continue to be one of the best things that has happened to me in this life. Your dad and I are so proud of you. You are a great sister to your brothers and I enjoy being a spectator to the closeness you share with each of them. It hasn't always been easy for you to be the filling in the brother sandwich. You are beautiful without vain. I love you so very much and wish you all the best in the year to come. Happy Birthday, Brit.
