The first big outing at only 7 days old. In the south the Fourth of July is a definite Bar B Que must. She is not terribly thrilled with the concept of the hot outdoors and the smell of searing ribs.
Christening Day is here for Kathryn. She looks very excited about getting that christening gown off and something more comfortable on. I can't say that I blame here. The material they make those things out of would drive anyone nuts!
At the World's Fair in Knoxville, TN in 1982. How awesome to have been part of something so large when you are so little. Her favorite part was feeding the fish.
They grow so fast....one day you turn around and they are holding on to your finger learning to walk and the next day they are readying for college......
BFF's at Eric and Roulaine's wedding at Mistletoe Bough - a local bed and breakfast. Kelli Knox, Raegan Lemmond, Jill Blair, and Kat. All the pretty maidens lined in a row.
And the last phase is....when they put on the white dress....and become someone's wife. Where did all the time go? I still have so many memories....and boxes full of photos.....but....I can't save time in a bottle.....and it truly does march on...whether you want it to or not. Jan and Kat both married the same year. Kat in May and Jan in June. It was a busy year for bridal showers, weddings, and parties. I would not have missed a minute of it.
The end....or is it? Her saga continues.....part 2 - Life with Brian

thanks for the comment! i will keep my fingers crossed that im lucky enough to get the same happy ending!
That poem you started this post off with is so sweet. I'm always a sucker for a good poem though, and one about those little people who touch our lives for good.
What a beautiful poem. When I go to the nursery at the hospital to fill out the baby photo forms, I get so excited. I get to see all the little ones. I try to tell all the parents to remember that everytime they look at that precious face they are looking at God and for that one moment they are seeing perfection.
By the way, in the picture of the girls, there is one of them named Jill Blair. Tell me about her. We had a band director once and he had a daughter named Jill. Could it be the same one?
Your thoughts are wonderful and I am going to enjoy reading them.
Thanks also for your thoughts back to me concerning 2008. My year was relatively calm compared to yours, but we know who holds our hand through all these tough times.
What a sweet tribute!
You're gonna love having a married daughter. My oldest DD is my very best friend. It's a great opportunity for a RICH relationship.
