Awwwww!


Today is The Booger’s 14th birthday.

I’m really having a hard time wrapping my head around that one. Where has all the time gone?

She’s still such a tiny little thing, but her feet are bigger than mine are now (woot! no more freshly-knit socks theft or borrowed shoes!), and she’s almost as tall as I am (really not saying much…). She’s brilliant and funny and beautiful (and crafty! - she totally asked for yarn and needles for her birthday, and is gearing up to make her first sweater), and definitely has a +2 in Perfectly Timed Platitudes and Sage Advice, which always makes me smile. I’m awfully proud of the chicklet.

And, unlike her parents, she’s photogenic. This is one of her school pictures from this past fall:

Fourteen. Amazing.

  5. You both are totally, in my book, amazing!!
    I know how proud you are of her…it’s justly deserved…she is a very special being!!
    I feel honored to get to know her!!
    Being the mother of two 20 year olds, I can understand wondering how THAT happened.
    Please give her a BIG hug for me and tell her that I wish her a BEST EVER year!!
    Definitely a beauty!!
    But then…you both are!!

  6. Well, as I’ve said to you (and her) before, she is definitely a special person. Not to mention cute as a button.

    I can’t remember a more enjoyable weekend than the one we spent in Eugene. Miss O was a perfect travel companion and an experienced fiber festival enabler!
    (I agree with Lori that she resembles you, especially in this picture)
