I am here.  Faster than I thought possible.

I am here.  Where the days aren’t long anymore…they are so undeniably short.

I am here.  And while there is a certain joy to being here…my heart is longing for the simpler days.

But I am here.  And my daughter is in middle school.

Before I knew it…I am here.

Where as before, for each birthday, I could somehow muster the words to adequately describe the feelings of my heart…today I can not.

And so these photographs are what I will speak with.

Because my life truly is so beautiful.

Happy 11th Birthday to my sweet yet spicey little woman.  She is a constant source of sunshine in my life…and I am on lucky mama.

Her 11 year old photo session is forthcoming 🙂
