Age

Well today during ward choir practice Billy was reminded that he "robbed the craddle" but the idea that he is a bit older than me really hit home during this conversation:

I was looking in myself in the bathroom mirror, and I realized I have the start of wrinkles around my eyes!  So I exclaimed...

Me: Man, I'm getting old.
Ava: But I don't want you to get old.
Me: me neither!
Ava:  But daddy is already old!

She said it quite matter-of-factly.  I'm not sure what she sees when she looks at her daddy, but it sure was funny to hear her comment on it!

On a side note: Bennett cut his first tooth this week and is now frequently pulling himself up to a stand on the couch!

I actually didn't know there was a significant age difference between you two. :) By the way, I'm very happy about it, but sad to inform you that the baby will be a boy, so unfortunately, there won't be any 'baby-bow making girl's nights', but maybe we can make him a... I actually don't know! What do you do to make your cute little boys so cute?

Just so everyone knows, Billy is not that much older, he is 30 and I am 24. We are about 6 years apart in age. The shocker comes when you find out I was married at 17!
