First Came Love…

First came love…

Then came marriage…

 Then came Tommy in a baby carriage!

(After a few years of pre-children fun, of course. And a new perm.)

 

Tom, Tommy, and me carriage

 

Okay, you can’t really see Tommy in that one, but trust me, he’s in there.

Here’s a better one.

 

Me and Tommy
 

Oh my gosh, isn’t he precious?

 

He’s come a long way… from slides on his first birthday…

 

With tom and birthday slide

 

…to bungee-jumping in New Zealand on his 30th.

This is afterward. I appreciate them letting everyone know they survived!

(He’s the one in front on the right.)

 

Survived bungee jumping

 

Happy 30th anniversary of Tom and me becoming parents, and happy 30th birthday to my oldest baby!

    Thank you! I loved my dark hair, too, but as I got older, it just washed out my face. (Plus the gray showed up more!)

    You are nicely young looking for having a 30-year-old. He must not have worn you down.

    Thank you! He gave me a few gray hairs and sleepless nights when he was in high school, but otherwise I did get really lucky. He's mostly been a joy!
