Growing up... growing pains...Mom's

Before her major decision to release the long hair she wanted to make it pretty for herself.

After her cut she was so happy with her decision...I on the other hand will miss being able to touch the hair. The independance is establishing itself and as it should...Just saying...

She is getting so grown up and so wonderful...I have to pinch myself because she is truly a great , no holds barred terrific sweet girl. She tries very hard, doesn't talk back and works toward peace in our house. Sometimes it makes me wonder where the teen is in her...

Since she turns twelve thursday, we went to get a new "look" for her eyes. Sensory overload to say the least...but quietly she stood and "considered her options". All the choices did not daunt her in the least. She was making sure we did not pick something to make her look like the plastic clown outside the food restaraunt. Got to love her!

Christmas In "Heaven"worth..

Sometimes I get glimpses of my own younger days and what I used to find to do. What fun to attempt them again...It always comes with a cost. I am willing to pay those tributes to better and much more fun days.

Christmas was lovely...I know it is March already, but there is a glow of warmth in my heart for the overnight we got in Leavenworth..

Snow that seemed to fall just for us and nowhere else.

The pass coming home was so beautiful. Juxtipose the hula girl on the dash jiggling her own dance to the snow and it made my world complete
