My Baby is 18

It happened. I know she'll be my baby forever, but technically, I am the parent of three adult children now. Every time I think of her, this is always part of the image that comes to my mind. 

 I hope for a world for her filled with more smiles and laughter than tears. And when those tears come, I hope she knows how much she is loved.

      With her still in high school, not different yet, but the age things just feels so different. A friends daughter turned 21 yesterday as well-now that feels like an adult.

    Aww what a cutie! How old were your other two when she was born. Mine were 12 and 14 1/2 when third was born- they were great babysitters too. Now she's amrreied with a baby and 4 year old! time really goes by too quickly- we need to make the most of it. I was always a SAHM and when youngest turned 16 and started driving, I started working outside the home. That way her transition into college wasn't so hard on me. Maybe hobbies for you? I keep telling my older daughter that- grandsons are 14(freshman) and 16 (junior)and will be gone soon.

      My son was 12 and daughter was 10. We didn't plan so far apart but I lost a few babies in between, then was sick for a year. I'll find more things to keep me occupied-read my post today-lots of things to keep in good repair!

    No longer children but always our babies. I'm excited for what the future holds for her.
