Is it possible that 21 YEARS have passed since I gave birth to my world traveling, wonderful Miss Allison!  Happy, happy Birthday to YOU! Sorry we can't be together today, but your family certainly is eagerly anticipating your homecoming!  Have a safe, wonderful trip... we'll be the huge hugs waiting at the airport!  Love you.

ALLISON!  20 years old - how can that be???  They have certainly been amazing years for me, as I watch you grow, and I hope you just keep loving life and all it has to offer.  Have a super awesome day and a fantastic year ahead.
Love you bunches!

Happy #19 to Allison!  Wow - cannot believe you are getting so old, while I stay so young!
Have a wonderful day full of smiles and fun.  Looking forward to celebrating with you today and all the way to St. Croix!
Know that I wish you all the best things in life, and that I am so proud of who you have become in 19 whirlwind years.

Just wanted to wish my favorite Solaced Dreamer a very Happy Birthday!  Hope you enjoy every minute of your day!

While you're at it, have a wonderful Easter, too!

No avoiding it - have a fantastic weekend!

Love you!

 Quick blurb earlier as we were off to dance, then Robert to soccer, then Dad (is home again - yay) and I went to LLBean to get some stuff for Robert's bike trek this weekend, now back and had a little dinner, but Cori's not home yet, and Dad took Robert to Scouts, and I ate some sausage because I HAD to, but here I am... sometimes I just feel like ( Read more... )

Mom, Cori, and Robert all got mail from Allison today - YAAY!  Our mail call hasn't been this happy in months!  Thank you, thank you!
We are praying for the boy in the coma... so sad and senseless...
