How time flies...

It only seems like a couple of years ago that we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of our 3rd, somewhat overdue, baby.

She will be 16 tomorrow!

She is a great kid with a wicked sense of humour.  She also has a way of telling it like it is, which makes for some really interesting situations both at school and with her friends.  Better leave that there...
Wow.

Where did those years go?

So tomorrow will be a busy day.  I am taking the day off so that Mrs RC and I can take her shopping, have a meal somewhere, etc.  It will be "her" day out.

Then, in the evening, the department is having a barbeque on the beach with the students who have just completed their final year.  Should be great, if the weather holds out.  If not, there is a pub nearby that we can invade instead.  After a couple of hours of that, it is back home for a movie - hope I don't do the Dad thing and fall asleep....

Happy Birthday to your daughter! 16 years seems like a long time ago, but it feel like it passes in a blink of an eye. I wonder who does she get her sense of humor from? You or your better half?

Good luck on the BBQ. Hope the weather cooperates.

Isn't it amazing how quickly those years pass by? Happy Birthday to your daughter! And it's probably okay if you do the dad thing and fall asleep. It's expected!

That sounds like a great way to celebrate her 16th! It always blows my mind to think I have children that age. I mean, wasn't I just that age only a few years ago??
And btw, sometimes the Moms fall asleep too....

Happy sweet 16! I'm sure she's a great kid. Have a fun day with your varied festivities! And yes, like ShadowRun300 says, that falling asleep bit is also a Mom thing. Go for it.
