A Milestone

 I guess I should have posted this a few days ago but this momentous occasion happened right after I posted for Easter so I thought I would wait.  Sometimes life speeds by so fast that it gives you whiplash. I know posting this and going through all the pics for the post sure gave me a "back to the future" vibe.  As a Mom of 4 boys this occasion has happened 3 times before.  It's that magic moment when a child turns an age that makes you say: "Where has the time gone?"  Then you look at the photo albums and computer pics and realize time has gone where it always goes...on and on if you're lucky.   My youngest kiddo, Jordan, turned 40 on April 2nd.  Now all the boys are in their 40's. Whoa!  I clearly remember and even think that my 40th birthday wasn't that long ago! Ha!  How about 31yrs ago! Jordan was the last of the clan and has given us plenty of memories to look back on and also probably most of my gray hair when he was a teen!  Oh well, all's good now and here's just a few pics for my blog/journal.  Jordan doesn't read it so I probably can say anything I want and he wouldn't be the wiser!  Nah, just the good stuff here!  So here goes:

This is one of my favorite pics of Jordan and me because it shows how big this kiddo was!  He's only 4 months old here!  He weighed 10lbs, 8oz when he was born so it's no wonder he was that big.  Funny how he's the skinniest one in the family today.

Hanging with Dad...or maybe napping with Dad?

Oh those curls.  He keeps it short now so no curls...so sad.

He didn't mind my Halloween face..his was cuter!

He enjoyed Halloween too.

A boy and his dog...Ferris the Wonder dog!  Jordan and I picked Ferris out from the local shelter when Ferris was a 3mo old pup and Jordan was 3yrs old.  (Jordan isn't 3 in this pic!)  Ferris lived to be 15 and it was a super sad day for all of us when he went to the rainbow bridge, but especially Jordan.  The only other dog Jordan had after Ferris was Eddy the boxer.  I blogged a lot about Eddy over the years.  Jordan is a dog lover and I know one day he'll get another one. 

There's that day when all of a sudden the boy starts to be as tall as the parent!

Here's typical Jordan..he always can make us laugh! He has a very dry sense of humor and a quick wit. 

Again, typical Jordan! 

One of Jordan's senior pics.  They go from little to suddenly all grown up.

From here with  his brothers..

To here with his brothers.   It's been a wild and crazy 40yrs with this boy/man.  No matter the age, the youngest will always be the baby of the family.  Happy 40th Jordan!
