My most clear memories of my birthdays growing up, and to be honest, most of them when I've been an adult is my mom saying "XX years ago today...." and then she tells some sort of piece of the day when I was born. I always responded with a groan, a moan and an "Oh mom!" Now when she does it, I just smile. Why? Because I, of course, do this to my kids now.
Austin walked down the stairs this morning and the first thing I said was "14 years ago today" and he responds with a groan, a moan, and a "it's not even my birthday yet!" Yeah, his birthday is tomorrow. But I always start looking back the day before the kid's birthdays. 14 years ago today, I had no children. Now God has blessed me with 3! 14 years ago today, Doug and I went to the mall and walked and walked and walked, hoping to start labor so I wouldn't have to be induced the next morning. We also bought a white snow suit to bring Austin home in. Oh the memories. You just cherish and savor them.
So, can you guess what my first words tomorrow morning to Aus will be :)
