Louie

My first born...Louie, not sure who knows this but I had him when I was 15 years old. I remember hearing people talk behind my back saying "babies having babies" I didn't feel like a baby I did know that I was scared and didn't really know what was going to happen. I was happy and "in love" with Louie that's all I thought I needed. Our parents made us promise that if we got married and had our baby that we would promise to finish school. I thought that's easy enough and really being pregnant in school was easy and I got the best grades I ever had while I was pregnant. Louie and I were married and were trying to do things right...but, ends up we were too young and didn't know what we were doing. I am blessed to have my "ex-in laws" in my life now and especially then. Louie was raised by my in-laws they have done a great job and I have always tried to be in his life in some way. All I know is that I am so proud of him and love him and will continue to be in his life until the end of my days. I will always be thankful to Nadine and Frank for all they do and have done for Louie.
I guess I was very immature when I had Lou but, God put some good people in my life and I feel very blessed. Louie is married now to Carrie and they have a very cute, smart, talented, adorable little girl Natalie with an IQ of over 300...hehehe.

Kirsten

Kirsten..awww what a friend...and most important my oldest child. Even though there is only 9 years difference between us I will always consider her my kid;o) I married her Dad.., and she has become one of my favorite people. She is so smart, a great Mom and an all around great person.
When we first met it was kinda funny but we wore the same watch (don't know if she remembers that) we were at a Rockies game for mine and Larry's Bday, a gift from Greg. I remember thinking that we were going to be good friends. I'm not sure what her thinking was at that time, she was 23 years old. I could only guess what her thoughts were at that point but 13 years later I hope that she knows that I love her and her great little family. She has taken on the oldest sibling role and that makes me happy, that's a big job considering she has 4 brothers and a sister to keep tabs on...good thing that Starman has big shoulders;o)
She has brought to us (along with Scott) two wonderful grand-daughters Rowan and Tressin...it is so nice to get to know them and for them to feel comfortable around us. They are so much fun..I've gotta write some of the comments that they say and some stuff they do...that's got to be a future blog;o)
Love ya Kirsten....
