Crazy to think about, even wilder to experience. The sweet, goofy girl is now 18. Dave and I can say that we have done a mighty fine job, but we are not done yet. Do children ever really grow up in their parent's eyes?
Heather is compassionate. She has a great sense of humor. She is outgoing, friendly-loves to be around children. She is determined, a social butterfly. She loves to eat sushi, steak, seafood and will try any food at least once. She has a strong sense of adventure and is always active. She loves to watch movies, play the guitar, running and hiking. She is tall and beautiful--the boys are starting to notice. She does what she wants and could care less about what anyone thinks about her. She is an individual and is not afraid to go against the grain. She is doing well in school, but is still undecided on what to do after graduation--nanny, military, college, working--they all seem full of adventure to her (Dave and I are trying to get her to commit to college or the military, either one is fine by us) We are proud of her. She has all the tools to be a success in life. Watch out world, here she comes.

alright so you are a mom to an 18 yr old. you try to encourage her into military or college so naturally she will choose to be a nanny. am i the only one who remembers what we were like? i know we both were pretty good kids but we did do things just to prove we could. im sure she will do the same. i have gone through so much of that with erics oldest. it is so sad that we both have kids that are that old. why did we marry guys older than us??? so we could age quicker? lol j/k gotta love them older men.
Angie, I hope you know how gratful I am for you and all you love and care for Heather and Teresa, and David. You have been such a blessing in their lives. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
