Hi Kim, my best wishes for your daughter Charlotte (pretty girl - btw!) and happy birthday! Hope you will have a big party!!!
Greetings, Petra
haha thanks Petra...
we are celebrating with a big party/sleepover for Charlotte on Saturday night...
as for me ..it will probably be an early night..lol
Happy birthday to you both!! Do you have the same birthday or just close? My oldest and I have the same birthday. It's very cool, although I wasn't really thrilled with spending my 22nd birthday in labor! LOL!
Hi I did subscribe as chicoizagor@hotmail.com I did link on my site beyond the entrecard widget, thanks.
What a sweetheart Charlotte is - gorgeous! Takes after her mum of course!
Happy, happy birthday to you both! Have fun!
You are in my Google reader AND I used to get your posts read out to me as a podcast in iTunes (that seemed to stop lately though not sure why...) I think getting an email too is over-egging the pudding as my mother used to say, as much as I love reading your blog :-D
Oh Kim...isn't she GORGEOUS...like her Mom...a very, very Happy Birthday to YOU as well...that was some present you received 17 years ago...yes??? Hope you all have a blast w/ the sleep over...I'll be thinking of you...:) :) :)
Yep, enter me in the draw please.
I have already linked to you Kim in my list of entrecard participants to visit daily.
Happy birthday Charlotte...I hope you get a present of $5000. too...lol, just joking Kim.
haha Christine..
I can imagine how you felt..
I had a caesarian with Charlotte (placenta praevia) and the Doctor gave me a choice...the day before my birthday or the day after...so naturally I chose the day after (August 10) lol..
great Jasko :)
thank you..
you're in the draw :)
thanks and thanks Diane...
Charlotte took the photo herself...she's quite talented when it comes to photography..especially self portraits :)
Charlotte is SO excited..hehe
"over-egging the pudding" haha I've never heard that line...it's a good one...
thanks very much Amy..
goodness it only seems like yesterday that she was a tiny little baby...now she's 5'9" and towers over me..and in her final year at school ...eek !!!
thanks Megan..
you're in :)
hehe 17 year old daughters are far more expensive than 19 year old sons..IMO..
I think it has to do with their taste in clothing...
Thanks. Just got your page on my link section. looking forward for this raffle. Again thanks and God bless! Happy Birthday in advance too!
thanks Jeyo :)
and thanks for the birthday greetings :)
good luck in the draw !!!

Happy Birthday to Charlotte! My, what a pretty young lady ... I see the "Laketree" smile was handed down :-)
So, I am "a wantin" to win this one. Any way of bribing the panel? (you)
ha haaa!!!
ummm now let me see Speedy...
bribery ???
ok if you send me 4,999 ECs...I'll make sure you win ..lol...
thanks for the birthday wishes.... *smiling*
I don't have that many Ecards! ha haa!!
So ... did you get "your" wish?? and what was it ??? I usually just want a bit of golf and dinner with family.
BTW: I always love your comments Kim. You are one of the bloggers that I emulate and admire.
Hello Kim,
Happy Birthday to two beautiful women - one young in years, the other young in idealism. Will it be a big double celebration like something preparatory to her 18th birthday?
Have a very Happy Birthday Kim. You deserve to be happy - for yourself and your kids. Charlotte is certainly a pretty young woman and I wish her a happy birthday and a great life ahead of her.
As for you Kim, "may you live as long as you want, and may you never want as long as you live". :-)-- Durano, done!
Happy Birthday, Charlotte!
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
~ e.e. cummings ~
(Complete Poems 1904-1962)
thank you Speedy
it's been a great weekend...
a new dressing gown and pjs...chocolates ...flowers....lots of pizza and cake.... :) :)
thank you Durano...
Charlotte's 18th will be held at a restaurant next year...this years party was a 'teenage' girly party..with lots of movies...toasted marshmallows and lollies :)
