Happy...

While most people celebrate New Year's Eve as they await the birth of a new year, exactly 18 years ago, I was awakened by my water breaking at 8:30 in the Georgia morning.

12 hours later, our firstborn arrived.

So we don't celebrate this day as a ball rises only to drop from the sky.

Instead we celebrate Chick. And today, she turns 18 years old -- a legal adult (Yikes!) (Am I really old enough to have a legally adult aged child?)

Happy Birthday Chick! You make us prouder every day.
