While you read the history of Bossy’s daughter and Bossy’s son, Bossy will wait right here, on the porch, contemplating the passing of the years. Why so fast, years?
Happy happy birthday, Pajama Bottoms Girl, and may there be many more happies yet to come. Your life is off to a most wonderful start. In the end, it’s all about the memories 🙂
The lyrics to “Sunrise, Sunset” are now floating around my brain….
You have gorgeous kids, Bossy! I wish you a bazillion more years to enjoy them, too.
Happy Birthday, Bossy’s sweet daughter!
I right there with you on that “where does the time go” porch…
What a great-looking pair… Bossy must be bustin’ with pride as she uploads this photo. Happy Birthday Bossy’s Daughter… and how TALL is your nearly-20 son?? Yowza!!
🙂

Happy Birthday, Bossy’s Daughter! You rock! *smooches*
Happy Birthdays, Bossy’s Daughter & Bossy’s Son. Condolences to Bossy for the too swift passing of the years.
Ahhhhh! That was sweet stuff! Makes me all mushy about my own kidlets. Time does go by too fast….though it looks to me like you have spent your time wisely – good job Bossy!
Happy birthday Bossy’s Daughter!
Happy Birthday, Litte Miss Sunshine! What an amazing young woman you are.
Happy birthday, L’il Bossy!
Happy Birthday, D.! Welcome to the teen years.
Happy Birthday to both your “babies”. Your daughter is only 3 1/2 months younger than mine.
You are blessed, Bossy. There’s a lot of love in your life.
The happiest of birthdays to both of your kiddos.
Cheers!
I love the way Bossy’s children coordinated their outfits with Bossy’s house.
Happy Birthday to all.
happy happy birthday, pretty girl!
the best years of your life path are straight ahead!
Happy Birthday Bossy’s Kids! You’re Mom is cool! 🙂
Happy birthdays, bossy babies!
Happy Birthday dear aspiring actress. Good choice of shorts and belt, Bossy’s Son.
I lurve your son’s shortz in that first pic! Where are they from?!
Teen Angels.
Happy Birthday Bossy’s Beautiful Daughter!
Don’t go getting all sullen teenager on your Mom, now.
RIght with you on the passage of time thing, bossy… how would you like to have a granddaughter who is turing 6 on wed. july 22 ? I love it.. but hay, she was just born yesterday or so it seems…………………………
(also singing sunrise sunset.)
HELLO, totally teary-eyed this morning, thanks a lot. Mine are 10.5 (almost, Aug 5 to be exact) and 11.75 (officially yesterday) and I am wide-eyed and slack-jawed watching them, trying desperately not to blink so they are still here for a little while. Waaaaaa
Happy Birthday Bossy’s Daughter!!
Hold on before we get all verklempt about years and their passing. Kids sprout fast and mature at ultra sonic speed from first day in high school to second year in college. You on the other hand have WAY so, so much more time and deeds to do and beauty to preserve. Oops, sorry Mr. Bossy, I just may have flirted with your wife there just a little.
Yep, time keeps on passing…but you, Bossy haven’t aged a bit!! How do you do it?? Is it the wine?
Happy Birthday, Sunny-One!
Happy, happy birthday, Bossy’s daughter!
Happy birthday both of Bossy’s kids. Now would you pass the kleenex please?
What is it with la famiglia Bossy and the kick ass footwear?!!
WRH covets BOSSY’s Daughter’s sparkly shoes!
Happy Birthday to Bossy’s daughter and son!! My oldest turns 21 at the end of the month, I just don’t know how that happened!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Bossy’s daughter!! What a sweet, touching post! I just love your blog. We called when our twin boys turned thirteen, “turning turdteen,” because they went from sweet to turds, but luckily, this does not seem to be the case for Bossy’s daughter. Our boys (now 16) sometimes give us a glimpse of their sunny sides again.
why was i thinking The Great Getzby was younger? Here I was, thinking he was barely old enough for me to marry. Turns out, he’s practically an old man! I think we should have the wedding next week. 😉
oh, and, again, happy birthday Bossy’s Adorable Daughter!
The thing about Bossy’s family photos (to which I keep returning for my heart-cockle-warming fixes) is that they don’t just capture the faces, they capture the love! It’s palpable, Bossy, and there’s no way to fool with that in Photoshop. Poverty Parties aside, you be one lucky family 🙂
Happy birthday, BD! Loved reading the past tributes, you’ve got me welling up over here! Your family is just awesome.
Ahh, they are both beautiful…just like their mom and dad. Enjoy this double teen moment, because when your son turns twenty, girl, that means you are old! xxooxx
A) Happy Freakin’ Birthday, Baby Bossy!
B) A strapping gent and a lovely lady…Congrats to you, Miss Bossy.
Sweet. And fun to revisit the loving mom’s tributes to her kids.
Oh man, I am so there..where did the time go? 🙂 Happy Birthday to your kids!

Aw! Happy birthday to Miss D.! I hope it was a wonderful day.
In a rare moment of seriousness, my baby turns 1 in a few weeks. I can see that I will be writing the “my baby is a teenager” post way sooner than I am ready. He started walking yesterday… he’ll be driving tomorrow. God help us all!!!
Happy birthday, Bossy’s Daughter!
I love their matching he/she belts. And then the eye moves to the opposite but yet similar groovadelic shoes…great composition
I was so busy failing at celebrating my son’s 13th birthday on the 18th that I forgot Daughter of Bossy was turning 13 also. I hope she had a better birthday than my son, who had to make his own cake. I was too busy crying at the loss of my baby to puberty.
Aaaaah. My baby is now 6 months old, and already I’m dewy-eyed with nostalgia and wondering where the time went…
