So far

The scrapbook thing is my traditional 21st birthday gift to my kids. I gave one to my others and also gave them DVD's set to music with the scrapbooks.

Took me months to do those things and what a great gift from your mom. We take thousands of photos of our kids and scrapbooks are ways we can condense that into a lving memory of that. My daughter cried and cried when I gave hers to her. My older son still brings it out for me.

I've never been in a position where I could give my children a real true persopal good 18th birthday gift. I can now, and I'm stymied. My older son came up this week to spend with us and he took his brother to Frankies Fun Park yesterday for their birthday. They had a blast and that was a perfect gift from him. His time, his money, his love.

I'm so fortunate to have the children I have.
