You know you're old when......

....your oldest child turns 29!



So a big Happy 29th to the oldest son Cris. I can remember you being born and how excited I was to have you -- yet at the same time scared to death to have the responsibility to raise you.



You are the quiet one, the secretive one, the stealthy one, but always the first one to step up and volunteer to help me with anything.

You are the one that I count on to take care of things for me while we are out travelling -- because I know I can count on you to take care of everything



You are my painting buddy. The one that offers to roll the walls and do the ceilings for me -- you don't know how much I totally appreciate you helping me with all my painting projects.

You were my assistant gardener this year. Offering to come help me plant was fun and a quiet way for us to work together and have great discussions.



You are my "go to" handyman. I love your willingness and expertise to help with all the millions of projects that we have going on around here.

I love you and love to think back on all the memories of your growing up and how much fun we've had (not that we haven't had some bumpy rides along the way). Keep working hard and keeping your life on track -- there are good things that await you!
