Victoria is Sweet 16





My sweet baby girl was born 16 years ago. It's so hard to believe. It's even harder to sit next to her in the car while she's driving.....for more than one reason ofcourse, but still, I can't get over how fast this time has flown by. There was no car, no big party bash. And I think she was a little disappointed, but she isn't one to talk about it, so....just a hunch. But....she did have dinner at the Blue Mermaid restaurant in Portsmouth, NH w/ 10 of her friends. I gave her a pair of Versace sunglasses (very cool ;-D), Steve gave her a very nice Sony camera "pink", and the kids gave her a Burberry watch. So I don't think she's missing out in the "cool items I got for my bday" category. And next year, the big 17, I plan to get her a car. I also plan to *maybe* throw her a party. I felt bad seeing her disappointment. Made me want to run out and just buy her a car now. But...the Miami Auto Show is Oct 23-Nov 1, so I'll make sure we fly down for one of those two weekends so she can check out all the cars that are out there and see if she falls inlove with any different ones.....

Anyways, in sixteen years, I've watched her go from the sweetest little baby, to an adorable toddler "I no like swimmim, nope nope." To the cute little girl I dropped off at pre-school and my Grandmothers house, to my little Kindergartener, to my big first grader, second grader, third grader, etc., and then my big middleschooler, big highschooler, and she's now my big tenth grader, gorgeous girl. She IS gorgeous. Beautiful hair, beautiful face, gorgeous smile, very stylish, extremely sweet disposition, and loved by all. She's still my baby girl. And I've been truly blessed to be her mom. 16 years. Wow.

I could not agree more. It's amazing how quickly the 16 years have passed and it's such enjoyment to look back on those 16 years to all of the wonderful moments that Victoria has brought to all of us. We are all so lucky that she's part of our lives.
