My Baby is 30!

Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday where I share something on my mind and invite you to link up and do the same.

This week my baby boy turned 30 years old!  When I gave birth to that adorable little boy three decades ago, I had no idea how he would weave his way into my heart and make life so much more than it was before he entered it.

I want to believe that I savored every ounce of Ian's childhood, but I know in reality there were days that stuff got in the way of me doing that.  But I can honestly say we made a ton of wonderful memories and I don't have one ounce of regret for the evenings I chose to play outside tossing a ball back and forth or going to the park instead of staying inside doing the dishes right after dinner.  

Our evenings and weekends were always full of sporting events and other extracurricular activities.  Some of our best conversations were in the car, driving to one activity or another.  

Ian made our lives even better when he married his wife, Kayla.  She fits in our family perfectly and we couldn't have picked a more perfect daughter-in-law.

We celebrated Ian's birthday with dinner at our house.  Eric and I gathered 30 gifts of some of Ian's favorite things growing up.  It was a fun trip down memory lane brainstorming what 30 things we could get.  

These past 30 years have gone by in a flash!  Hold on to your babies friends - they grow up way too fast!    

Now it's your turn.  What are you thinking out loud about today?  Link up and share!
