My oldest child, Austin, turned 16 years old today. Wow!

It’s so hard to believe that I’ve been a mom for sixteen years. It seems like just a couple, and yet at the same time it seems like I have been one forever. It has gone so quickly. Still it seems like forever because I can’t imagine my life without my kids. They are such a motivating factor in my life.

When he was born in March I never imagined his birthday would fall on Easter. My understanding is that the next time it would happen would be in 100 years. So it’s pretty much a once-in-a-life-time birthday for him.

Austin – I’m proud of you. I’m proud of the man you are becoming. You are a wonderful guy!
