A lot has changed in the last few years...

 But then again, nothing at all.

 She's still my girl.

I said "Lets take some pictures before you take your church clothes off..."

I should have known we were in for some craziness when these were the poses they were striking while I was setting up the camera!

 Things didn't get much better when I joined in...

 What is even happening?! Oh, well. At this point we were still having fun.

She's the coolest...

Emotion...

Well, after just over two years what got me to open up blogger and write something on this blog (that probably nobody reads anymore...)? I guess it was these pictures. Or these emotions really. The last few weeks I've been able to spend more time with Kacie alone than I have ever been able to before. Ever. Since she was born! We certainly miss the brothers while they are at school, but we're both focusing instead on catching up with our mother/daughter time. And, I'll tell you...it's lovely.

These pictures were from a moment this morning while Kacie was looking out to the patio, feeling disappointment. Being vulnerable and honest. And it was beautiful. I suspect all emotions are. Even though it was me who showed her how to keep the watercolors from all mixing together today, and again me who talked about blending sounds while we went through a list of her very first sight words... yet I was the one who was taught today.
