Dear Jack Much like every other damn thing in my life right now, I’m late on your birthday letter. Yesterday you turned 7. Holy smokes, that was fast. I can hardly believe you will be baptized next year and therefore finally accountable. I’m looking forward to that long awaited nap, or eating bonbons all day....
Well sports fans it’s that time again. Yep, Jacob turns 17 today and I have to say this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. Almost up there with actually, physically letting him go. Jacob, Happy birthday! I can hardly believe you’re 17. I’m so glad they don’t let people have babies...
happy birthday to Jacob. He’s got the best present any kid could ask for: a mother who loves him and is willing to admit that we all need to grow and mature.
..That, and a truck. Truck’s are cool.
Man. I realized today that I am still telling my 11-year-old what to wear and cutting his meat for him.

Dude! You rip my heart out with these letters you write to your kids. You’re amazing.
Em, You are 5 today. Five! Holy Smokes how’d this happen. I am still barely recovering from you starting Kindergarten! Are you trying to kill me? Currently, you love Dora, school, Barbie and never. shut. up. Ever. Even now as I am trying to type this you are grilling me about when you will be...
Jax, Yesterday you turned 6 years old. Despite this fact, you have spent the day telling everyone that today is your birthday. When I corner you on it, you explain that your birthday is yesterday, today and tomorrow. Um, just because you’re birthday parties are carring on, doesn’t actually make it your birth-day. No one...
Can I just say that I think it’s the coolest thing that you write these letters to your kids on their birthdays? Don’t get a big head, but you’re a pretty cool mom.
It’s entirely possible that you turned four years old, three days ago, and It’s also entirely possible that I’m just now getting to your birthday letter. Hey, get off my back, I’ve been busy! And it’s not like I forgot to throw you a party or TWO. That’s what I thought, now where was I?...
