You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

My Itty Bitty Baby Girl

29 November, 2004 /

Okay, so she’s not so ‘itty bitty’ anymore.
She’s going to be (dare I even say it?) TWELVE this year. TWELVE. It was TWELVE years ago that I had my first baby. Is that possible?

She stayed home sick today. I don’t know how sick she really was, but I didn’t take any chances. She looked all cute laying in my bed so I got out the new camera and took some pictures. I have found that I like it when the kids are not posing. She had been looking at the camera doing some pretty cute smiles, but when she finally got bored of me blinding her with the super sonic flash, she started watching TV and that’s when I got this picture of her.

Could she look any more beautiful?

Naw, I didn’t think so either.
