Amazing how instantly recognisable both daughters are from that photo - they haven't changed much. Son, on the other hand, has changed quite a bit (the stubble probably accounts for a fair bit of that!) Happy Birthday to Son anyway!
I was just thinking what Loth said. As for the passing years I had just finished school when your boy was born and I really didn't think that was so long ago... Happy Birthday to him.
Your children look so beautiful, and so happy! I love the lovely long curls. My second daughter just had her 41st birthday - and my son is heading towards 36, and yet it seems only yesterday that I was holding my newborn babies in my arms, and was overcome by the marvel and miracle of birth. We celebrated the birthday with a cake and Anzac biscuits, aided by her children, as her partner somehow managed to forget the day itself! Bad!
I know - the years just fly by so fast - but how fortunate you are to have them reasonably close to you so that you can get them all together - I find it's getting harder to do that now as No 2 son is such a globetrotter and I guess my poor mum has the same problem with me being on the other side of the world. But what beautiful children you had - and still have. Zxx
I really do know that feeling - it seems as if one minute we have little ones, next thing they are all grown up! Time really does fly! I would also love those years back.
Happy Belated Birthday Dr. Son! Such great pictures of your three Isabelle -- both then and now. The girls as little girls look just like the girls as big girls! I've shared your melancholy this last month -- you're so lucky that you have two girls. Oh to have those years back!
Isabelle, your 'children' look charming in this photo. From what you write about them, I think you and Mr Life are very lucky to have friendly and well behaved offspring.

ReplyDeleteDoes he still draw rude pictures?
Offspring look great - and, may I say, nice teapot!!

ReplyDeleteI echo Loth's comments. Your young ladies haven't greatly changed in appearance, have they!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your young man!
Happy birthday boy.
ReplyDeleteI love grown up children. Babies, not so much (my own grandchildren are, of course, exceptions).
