OT - it’s been a while.



Haven’t been on much in quite a while. As I’ve heard some of you say “life gets in the way”. Had a little surprise about a year and a half ago... my third son and child #5! Not exactly what I wanted at 47 years old, but what an absolute joy this child has been. Watching my teenagers interact with him and seeing them learn what babies are all about has been one of the best experiences of my life. Trying to attach a pic (taken at his first car show) but not sure if it’s attached or not.... I don’t usually do this from my phone.

Congrats! 47 oh my.
I thought we were older in our upper 30's having a kid.
Kids are something else, They are extremely difficult, but the most wonderful thing that can happen. Enjoy every moment.

Congratulations and welcome back! We have quite a few years between our kids.
Get those older ones changing diapers & babysitting! My oldest daughter is 33
while her sister is 21. They are super close & the best of friends.
I was very happy when we finally made it out of Middle School.

Looking good over there in Arkansas!

Congratulations !! My sister had 2 daughters, 20 years apart. The first when she was 20 and the next at 40. When she was out & about in public with #2, people thought she was "Grandma". She would get so pissed off. I thought it was hilarious.
