my growing girl needed a new pair of shoes today.
she measured a 7 1/2-8. i am a 7. she has passed me up. i canNOT believe it.
she has passed me in shoe size and is not more than an inch or 2 from passing me in height. all of my kids will be taller than me. it will be a very strange feeling looking up to them. :)
and els knows that daddy is gone and i've been sending him pics.. so all i say is, you wanna take pictures? and she says, YES and runs outside! oh i am so proud of her.. she knows where the best light is, LOL.
now if she was only always so cooperative! :) ha!
AAAAAAAAAAAND fun fun fun!!!! i actually won something! my friend erica (who i now look to shop for my daughter) showed me this cute site- leila and ben. i fell in looove with this dress .... and the little skirts. perfect timing.. els needs some new spring clothes! :) i never enter contests, i never win things.. so this was a nice little perk today :)
LOVE these pics!!!!!!!!
Kira looks so old and beautiful:)
and the light is awesome.

Why do they have to grow up so fast?? Yikes, that scares me for my 4 year old son. I'm still trying to figure out where the 4 years has gone. Kira looks precious as always. She is very lovely.BUT I have to say above all, Elsie's dress and shoes, cracked me up. I love them, she is so stinkin cute...

don't think it's weird that you will one day look up at them, since they always look up to you.

Kira's limbs are so long!
(i wish we had thought about doing jump shots too...)
you've got two beautiful girls in your hands...you're gonna have to try really hard to keep all the adoring boys away..
