I looked through these shots of our weekend and realized I was taking photos of my child – a very tall drink of water who has all of a sudden since her last birthday, stopped being anything close to a toddler, or baby … and very much everything to do with being some one who is entering school and has thoughts that are bigger than barbies.

It’s a bit of a phenomenon. Look at her!

Oh my God, how blessed I am. How incredibly in love I am with her, with this spirit of hers – with everything about her.

She’s beautiful – and she’s pretty on the outside, too.
