Today is my daughter's birthday. She was born on Labor Day 1971.

Yeah, Miz t. was in labor on Labor Day.
Our smart and lovely daughter is 45 today.
Do I feel old?
Oh yeah.

You know you're old when you have a middle aged 'child'.
Two wonderful grandkids.
Jack is 14 and Charlotte is 9.
Oh, and our son-in-law is a pretty good guy too.

We're old too.......our older daughter is nearly 50 and our younger one is 44. So I really understand what you're talking about!

We adore our three grandchildren! Two of them actually were born on their due dates!

My "baby" turned 40 this year. He has two darling babies of his own though, so we are enjoying those toddler-times all over again!

Happy birthday to your daughter an my little sis.

After I called my sister, I called my mom, and the first words out of her mouth were to remind me it was my sister's birthday and then she proceeded to drop the line again, for like, the billionth time. LOL, if anything, she's predictable.

Three senior white haired children, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, makes her extremely happy and contented, but making the decision to not renew her drivers license on her 93rd birthday two weeks ago made her feel old.
