Oldest is a straight arrow. Driven, goal oriented, unique and interesting. A medieval archaeologist whose tremendously passionate about her field and smart as a whip.

Youngest is taking a more difficult path. Wild, troubled, incredibly intelligent, fearless. She wants to "change the world". At 17 years old, its entirely possible with this one. She graduates in June and is on track be her school's valedictorian. Look out world.

My daughter is a great mom of 3 boys peacefreak Mar 2014 #1
