HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LINDSEY

There is a country radio song that was released last year that still brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. The song is entitled "You're Gonna Miss This", sung by Trace Atkins. The chorus reads:

"You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
Take a good look around
You may not notice now
But, you're gonna miss this."

These words echo in my mind all the time--even though I love watching my children in the present day. I sometimes wish I could go back and do it all again--maybe I'd get it right the second time around.

Below is a testament to one of my many failures--keeping pictures up-to-date and organized! Well, I can always say I was busy with--piano, flute, violin, softball, CAT, track, gymnastics, ballet, baseball, basketball, English, math, science--you get the picture [no pun intended]! Ha! I amuse myself.

Lindsey is 23 today! Sunrise, Sunset....Below is a pictoral of Lindsey in review. I apologize in advance for the spacing mishaps. This has taken me hours of starting and re-starting and re-starting, and I still unwittingly deleted some photos. I will post them later.

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl....always and forever, Mother.

Thanks! I can't believe you let me wear some of those clothes...Not that I would have listened, I would probably have still worn what I wanted!
