  So today I turn 39 -- standing oh-so-close to the point of questionable return -- the big 4-0! Actually, 40 is probably the new 30, and the number of years I've tallied doesn't bother me one bit. What baffles me though is w hen did this aging... Posted Oct 02 2008, 08:02 AM by Oh Mama! with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: dylan, kindergarten, boys, kids, dad, running, birthday
