My oldest child is now 11 years old. It is a surreal feeling when your first born gets older. He is the one that made me a mother. He is the one that transformed us from a couple, to a family. He is the first one that we make mistakes with, and the first one to reach the milestones in life. My worries start with him and I wonder what he will experience in his life. Will he be strong enough? Will he be the example that his siblings need? Different roles and expectations come with being the "first baby" as Sami puts it. Austin brings a lot of joy and happiness to our family. I am so thankful that he is my "first baby." Happy Birthday Austin, we love you.
We were lucky enough to be in California to celebrate with all of our family.
** My birthday happened while we were there as well, but there is no need to dwell on that!
