I just noticed on the General Message board that today two young posters reach big milestones.

Brittney is 13 and Amy turns 18... I hope both girls enjoyed their day.
Kath

Thanks Kath. My birthday was great.
Amy

Happy Birthday to you both!

And thanks for participating in our Teen panel.

Watch for both their interviews in our upcoming issue of Outreach!

Thanks Kath! I still can't believe Brittney is 13 today! Wow! Happy Birthday Amy!!! I hope you had a fun one too!

Brittney is a funny kid - so excited about being an official teenager. She has gotten so tall - about the same height as me now and we look so much alike. Her b-day was good - PECAN pie instead of cake! For her party sleepover we will order a chocolate cake - she wanted it ordered instead of me baking it - family funny - just like she wanted ordered in Chinese food tonight instead of my cooking! - OK - I try but I am not too good in the kitchen and maybe that's why my kids are on the skinny side!!!! I got her a new watch to set for her 'beeping' for certain times of day - she cracks me up with her schedules.... She got some new earrings and clothes and stuff and her main present is her and I going on a shopping spree!! Chip wants to set a limited amount - probably a good idea! Anyway - after her soccer tournament this weekend we are heading to the mall to have fun!
Thanks for remembering her birthday!

Nancy - we must have been typing at the same time - by the time I posted I saw your reply. Thanks for your b-day wishes to her. I think she misses your emails! She was really excited about being asked about her feelings - not too many people do.
Thanks for remembering her big 13! Yep she is a teenager - but probably one of the most sweetest and happiest. Thank you for your wishes and I will tell her that you sent them.

I have three kids and I enjoyed their teen years so much... I thought they were so funny - well, most of the time. All three were teenagers at one point that truly tested my sense of humor and I enjoyed all of those years.
Kath

Kath, I know what you're saying! Teenage years I was told were supposed to be awful for parents - well - it is a whole new phase for me and so much fun! We got our eye brows waxed together a few weeks ago! The bond we have shared since she was born keeps getting stronger - and now I have this teenager that I can watch scary movies with, talk more with, sing off key with... we are close and she is so funny with her "'Yo' Yo' I don't think so"... and that's when we wrestle.... - she's always teasing me or she's doing her 'flamingo dance' around the kitchen. We probably sound insane - but we have so much fun and I still can't get over that my little one is 13!
