My Baby's going to be 30 !!!

My, how time flies! Just yesterday we were going to tumbling lessons. Just yesterday it was ice skating lessons and ball practice, cheerleading, volleyball tournaments and proms.......and....... and.......and... This Thursday, March 2nd, our baby girl will be 30 years old !!!

As I reviewed some pictures tonight, it seemed like only yesterday that she was that age or that size and we were doing this activity or that...and now she has two little girls of her own.


I won't bore you with all the pictures I'd like to post as they show the ages and stages of Jenn's life. They all have special significance to me, her Mom. Life with Jennifer has never been dull. We've faced several challenges together, but more importantly, there's been lots of love and joy and pride. We've watched her mature into a beautiful woman with special gifts to share with others.

This little "walk down memory lane" has offered me the opportunity to review the first 30 years of your life, Jenn. I don't know where the time has gone, or how this happened so quickly, but Happy 30th birthday, baby girl!!! And many, many, many more!! We love you. Mom & Dad

Visiting "the train"...........

We just returned from visiting "the little freight train" and his Mommy and Daddy. In the most recent blog, his Daddy referred to him ... "I hear the freight train coming." We are all getting excited about his arrival. Their house is turning into baby central with all the gifts received at several showers. Several of us enjoyed last Sunday's shower where several useful baby items were received.

Mommy enjoyed opening the gifts as Daddy and Aunt Becca watched. Good food and fun was had by all - thanks Becca, Christinel and Grandma Peggy!!

(Grandma Cori should have been closer with the camera!)

Shelby is excited too. She tells us she is going to help take care of the baby. Riley's a little more non-challant with the whole deal. At Christmas time, Shelby had to kiss her new cousin.





Otherwise, life at "Darwin and Norman" is about sewing and working in the basement "shop" and sorting and grandkids. And we all wait for "the freight train to come."
