18 years ago today, my daughter was born

It is finally here; her 18th birthday!

This is my daughter Nancy.

I’ve never really given her name before here (my own personal line in the sand as a parenting blogger – we’re all different about that which is fine) but she’s now “of age.”

She is wonderful, of course.

Smart, funny, a good friend, an intrepid traveler and now a college freshman.

Yes, I love the Sinatra song “Nancy With the Laughing Face.”

I’m so proud of her.
