Misadventures in Mommyhood: Veteran's Day/Birthday

The Oldest

Sage is the oldest of our three children. She is a sensitive, caring and very sweet teen girl. She says that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She is already growing up way too quickly for me. I am very proud of her for many reasons. She is a pre-ap, GT student with (almost) straight A's and is kind to everyone even if they are not kind to her. She has also broadened her horizons in the food catagory which I am very happy about. She has tried new things such as brocolli and asparagus and absolutely loves them! I like to think that we have done a pretty good job so far with her. Before long, she'll be all grown up and on her way to creating her own life!

The Boy

Raiden is the crazy part of our children. He looks and acts just like his father which can be good, but not so good at times. They do seem to share a similar temper and that's the not so good part. He's a real sweetheart, though. He is Momma's boy but is definitely all boy. I am very proud to say that he is now a Webelo rank in the Cub Scouts and plans on sticking it out till he makes Eagle. This week he tells me he wants to go into the military and that couldn't make me any prouder. He has also expressed intrest in being an astronaut, a teacher, a spy and a fireman just to name a few. He really believes he can be all of those and so do I. He is my Boo-Boo Bear after all!

Veteran's Day/Birthday

Today is a pretty special day for two reasons. First reason. Please don't forget about our soldiers out there. Past, present and future. Without their bravery and sacrifice, there is no telling what kind of nation we would be. There is no way we can repay them for all they have done for us. To honor them is all we can do.

Also, today is my sister's 28th birthday. Wow, it was strange enough when it was my turn at 28, but now my sister. I have to say that I am so proud of the woman she has become, though. We didn't have the easiest childhood, nor the roughest, but we have always been sisters and there for each other. Two more years, Brandi. Two.More.Years! (inside joke!) You are one of my favorite little sisters! Love!!
