  3. Oh my God, I’m crying my stupid eyes out! Robyn, she’s been beautiful since the very first day. Happy 19th Birthday Spud!!

  6. Question for CA extravaganza: I don’t think Spud resembles you AT ALL. Does she and I’m missing something, or does she look like her dad? okthxbye

    You have a lot of love for you in Alabama. I bet you can feel it all the way to Rhode Island.

  31. Happy Birthday Spudster. What a wonderful young woman you’ve grown into. Kudos Robyn and Fred for raising such a beautiful, confident lass. Make a wish!

  32. An absolutely lovely,beautiful tribute to your child.

  40. That was touching, Robyn. Thank you.
    Your love for your daughter is so apparent and wonderful.

  42. From the first picture of your beautiful ‘lil Tater Tot, to the lovely teenage picture of your Spud… Happy Birthing Day to you Robyn… She looks to be a wonderful young lady…

  43. I absolutely love that song. I put it at the end of the video we made for my son’s golf team. He hated it. Parents loved it. This brings to mind a quote I heard from Demi Moore about motherhood. “The only time we really have control of our children is when they are in the womb. After that, it’s all a series of letting go.” So true. Thanks for the post.

  44. By the way, I added you to my friends list so you can lurk on my journal too! I didn’t realize til today you had an LJ acccount

  46. Now I’m all teary! I remember when she was starting high school! That was beautiful – Happy Birthday Spud!!!
