My girl

I took these pictures back in the fall, but am just now processing them.   Hard to believe she'll soon be double digits.  When I look at these photos, I can see so many deminsions of her.  

She's a dreamer...

can be quite serious at times..

but loves to laugh...

She gives from the heart and is constantly putting others before herself and she's only NINE.  Such a beautiful little soul she has.  My, how I love her...

Busy, busy..

Working on this family's photos I took this past summer.  LOVE. THEM.  They are awesome!  TEN beautiful souls, this lovely couple has. T-E-N.  Go ahead, count 'em.  I'll wait.....

All their babies could be models.  Every last one.  But more importantly, their insides are even MORE beautiful than their outsides.  Truly, an amazing family....

Can you even....

All this beauty...

and cuteness...

in one single family...

Love all you stinkin' Macs!  I'll have these and MORE out in the mail to you soon.

 

Lil' Miss

I remember this clearly.

And then, just a little over four years ago, she made her grand entrance.

She keeps us on our toes.  She is THE girliest of girls.  Loves princesses and purple, long hair and dresses. When a smile spreads across her little round face, people are helpless... They are under her spell.

Recently I overheard this conversation she was having with her oldest brother, who will soon turn EIGHTEEN.  Lord help me.

"Do you hab a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Ahhh... I wish you hab a girlfriend."

"Why?"

"Because, she be so pawitty.  She hab orange hair here, and pupo hair here and red hair here.  Wit parkot (sparkles).  Then she hab gode eyes.  Oh.. and purpo nail here and purpo toe nail here.  Soooo paawitty...."

Hard to believe my baby girl is now four.   The days may be long, but the years are short, my friends. So soak it all in.  Every purpo sparkly moment....

Moment in Time

Moving as often as we do, and seeing as much change and activity as we see, it's moments like these I hope they remember. Forever....or at least for a good long while. 

Cheeky Monkey

Me: Girl baby, I sho do love your cheeks!

Her: Me too.

Me: So, you love your cheeks?

Her:  Yet (yes), Mommy. Everyboppy does. 

Think she's right.  I'll let the evidence speak for itself...

Impressive

No matter who you are...,

Whaddaya lookin' at?
