possibly the cutest pictures you will ever see.

I know I must be biased.

But when she sits at the table all grown up

drinking her "coffee" (mostly milk...but yes some coffee)

and she says, "Mommy, come drink coffee with me!"

my heart absolutely melts.

And then there's this face.

Pretty little homemaker with Mama's apron.

Ultra feminine, yet with no fear of our arachnid friends. She is the one I call on to squish the spiders. With her bare hands, mind you.

This girl is a delight. A ball of raw emotion, yes. Completely exhausting. Incessantly chattering. But her sweet smile, her ability to imagine anything, her expressiveness, her affection, her NEED to connect with people, her earnestness, her compassion...charming and wonderful beyond belief.
