"The first family of Minnesota Blogging" - Mitch Berg, Shot in the Dark

Illuminating fun, faith,
family and foolishness.

have an intimate connection.”

What's that in tiger years?
Tiger Lilly turns 14 today. She could have had her birthday a couple of weeks sooner, but she tarried past her due date and our doctor finally had to induce. I think he offered chocolate. Despite her initial hesitancy to meet the world she has not been shy about getting out into it, whether it's meeting the neighbors or traveling to China and Romania on missions trips.

Fourteen is an interesting time for her as each day brings new opportunities — and wardrobe. Camo BDUs one day, lacy camisoles the next, and she thinks it wouldn't hurt to have a formal or two on hand for whatever might come up. It's a time for looking back, considering one's options and greeting the future with a smile.







Happy Birthday, Patience.
