Kiddos getting the hang of this walking thing.. think I'm going to miss the times she just plopped in one place, now I have to lock everything away and put a bell on her to keep track 
I turned around one day and she climbed up a couple stairs like a ninja

-Oldest daughter lives in L.A., very independent, and successfully working her way up in the marketing world
-Middle daughter, more of a homebody, is a rising senior at one of the top culinary schools in the country and working this summer at America's Test Kitchen in Boston
-Youngest son is a rising junior in college and just secured a 2023 summer internship at a top tier bulge bracket investment banking firm.
While we don't always see eye to eye, each is great, different and special in their own way.

Before the kids could walk, we called it the "pet rock" phase. It was a fun phase....then they get older and get into everything! They don't seem to grow out of that phaseKiddos getting the hang of this walking thing.. think I'm going to miss the times she just plopped in one place, now I have to lock everything away and put a bell on her to keep track

Ours hasn’t started walking quite yet (though we think she’s quite close) but she’s such a fast crawler. Take an eye off of her for one second and she’ll get into something she probably shouldn’t be inKiddos getting the hang of this walking thing.. think I'm going to miss the times she just plopped in one place, now I have to lock everything away and put a bell on her to keep track

My mom said I was like that, I just ninja'd around everything and snagged stuff before they could see me.. which is how the first time I passed out drunk I was about a year old when I snagged her beer bottle off the table and chugged the little bit, and passed out on the floor a little laterBefore the kids could walk, we called it the "pet rock" phase.

And she also says I didn't grow out of that phase until way later
(like 6 years ago)

Today we say our final goodbye to our beautiful daughter. Her service is lined up to be one amazing display of love and celebration of her short life. Hard to put into words how proud I am of her and what she accomplished in just short of 11 years. She had a lot of things to overcome in life and she did it all with a smile on her face. The amount of people we've had tell us that she was an inspiration to them, and one of their favorite people to be around, has been incredibly touching. She had a larger impact on the world than I've had in my 37 years and she was truly a remarkable person. I'll never be more proud of anyone or anything else.
Again - sorry for your loss. I'm so happy to read this post because of the content of the person it's about.

Ooof I can’t imagine going through that. She sounds like she was an absolutely amazing person. Praying for you and your family
The oldest kid brought home 1st and 3rd place medals from Saturday's swim meet.
Second one got two 4th place ribbons.
Third one got a 1st place medal.
And, the youngest got a 2nd place medal.
The last 3 were also DQ'd from one event each, so we have room to improve!

what a freakin boss move.
mine would end with a walk of shame, or more likely wedge putt.

My son just keeps getting better. Has no problem playing a full 18 with me and words like par and birdie are becoming relevant. At the end of the round he took his hat off and shook the hands of our playing partners without me saying anything...man was I one proud dad!
