I don't talk about my children much on the blog and I don't show photos of them anymore. They've reached an age where they need privacy to grow and make mistakes and be awkward and all the other things that come with this time in their lives. Having an audience for this very normal phase/rite of passage seem like an insurmountable and paralyzing hurdle. I don't want that for my children. So, I've given them their space.
But, my baby has reached a milestone birthday and as I look back on our years together, from the first moment I knew she was on the way to the very present, I am so proud, so in awe of the wonderful person she is. Her talent and creativity far exceed my own and it is my prayer that she will have a blessed and happy life, the way she has blessed and brought happiness into my life.
She's on my mind today because she helped me with this little photoshoot. I had everything set up; I just needed someone to push the button for me. So, she came along and lent more than a hand, she lent some advice. This butterfly on the nose pose was entirely her idea and she said things like, "now cross those eyes, cross em' girl!" so that I was laughing so much that all the smiles you see here are genuine and there are many more pics of me laughing which were just too blurry to post. I can now say that of all the hundreds of photos I've taken, this collaboration with my daughter was my favorite.
