This is What 8 Looks Like

1.30.12

So trendy with her super cool feather hair dealie on the left there.

Big ole scraggly 8-year-old teeth with some gaping holes.

Silly smirks and faces with the typical 8-year-old, “Ma-ahm, are you done taking pictures yet?”

She was asked to come up with two things she was grateful for at Sunday School–and not just the typical God and family answers. She said she was grateful for (1) different types of people in the world and so many different cultures and countries and (2) that there were orphanages and people to take care of kids who didn’t have families and people to adopt them.

This is what 8 looks like. 
Beautiful through and through.

Happy birthday, Ashlyn, from the dragon lady.

    Couldn’t be more beautiful — inside and out.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
