She's Just Seventeen

I left something super important out of my last post. While we were in Palm Desert Maddie turned 17! Frankly, I find this remarkable. How can someone as obviously young and fresh as I have a 17 year old? Two words...child bride.

Also, Maddie, you are as delicious today as the day you were born. Here's why:

1. You smell good, that's always been important to me.

2. You value a good book and have a (very) willing suspension of disbelief.

3. You don't know the difference between pot and marijuana!

4. You have a tender heart and love your friends.

5. You stand for truth and righteousness with determination.

6. You manage our home quite well for such a short person.

7. I like the way you dance.

8. You know how to save money; weird.

9. You appreciate good food like a Fosse.

10. You are stronger than you look, sweet daughter!
