Happy Birthday, JinJin!!

Well, guess what. Today is Jin-nay's 63rd birthday. Yep. the big 6-3! How's that for gettin on up there!? But she's still looking good... check these out. Ellie's first dance recital. But then again, she was young then... only 62~

Maybe having lunatic grandkids keeps you young acting/ feeling.

Or maybe it is having a new partner. Friend. Acquaintance. Boyfran. (Mom... what do I call Baxter?!) awkward!

Or maybe it's never knowing what in the world your teenage grandson might pull next. This one certainly keeps everyone on their toes! And JinJIn is always there to help.

Or maybe it is these THREE baby girls who have a whole sack full of energy each!!

Yep. They definitley would keep anyone laughing!

So raise your hand if you have a birthday in the next two months. That's right! Ellie's is next week and Gabbi's will be here in August!

And JinJin's.... well, it is actually today! And actually... she always takes a group of her best buds and stays in mine and TG's condo in Gulf SHores. It is an annual pilgrimage. And for that, we are never able to see her on her birthday!

I don't get that she really cares. I mean, she IS at the beach! But...


gotta admit.... THIS is what life is really about, and I know JinJin knows this!

So happy birthday, Mom! You still act like you are 42. (Cause that's how old your oldest daughter will be in 44 days!). And you can still embarass your grandchildren by doing a belly dance.

But we wouldn't have it any other way. We love our crazy family!!

And we love you!


Hope you have a good one, mom!!
