Little Fashionista

Through the melt-downs, tantrums, misunderstood demands...
She gives me these looks that make me giggle at the end of the day.

Her favorite things to say as of now:
"Everything is broking!"
"Mommy, you're in TROUBLE!" coupled with her cutest pretend-angry face that I never want to forget!

Just another day

    Although she rarely stands still for me anymore, Kayla posed here like a true princess, just before she happily went off to school.  Just another day of autumn, and just a little taller.

Autumn

   A stroll around the block, Kari greedily stuffed her little jean pocket full of beautiful autumn leaves.  She loves them just as much as me.  "Is it still autumn now, mommy?" She'd ask, afraid that winter will come too soon and sweep away all the gorgeous fall colors.  I want to stay in this season for just a little bit longer...  

More so, and perhaps greedy of me, I just want them stay this small for one more autumn...

                     Blissfully giddy over her collection of autumn leaves

                                  Kari F. The smile that brings light to my life.

2013 Day 2

Day 2 of 2013, as I sent them off to school.

My new year's resolution:
1. Be who I want my girls to be...  
2. Eat, stretch, and exercise.
3. Paint my fairytale and compose my own storybook, one day at a time, a story that belongs to me,  a tale that's decided by me, and a beautiful life that I choose to live.

2013 Day 1

Just waking up from her nap, she clutched to her Cinderella and gave me a big smile.  I know I will be saying this for years to come, but I can't believe she is growing up a little everyday.  It's getting harder for me to hold her, but I will for as long as I can.

"Happy New Year, Kayla!" I said as I held her in bed.  She said defensively folding her hands across her chest as if she's mad, "No mama, it's my normal ear, it's not new..."

Watching Ice Age 4 before bedtime, she broke the silence and exclaimed loudly, "EVERYTHING IS BROKING!!!!"

Don't ever change, Kayla, you are too cute.

By Kayla F. My Family.  

Lovely, although... who is that extra person in there?  (It's her cousin Kenneth, she said)   She drew figures the same way I did when I was little, without noses.   And no offense taken, the mother was depicted here as having enormous feet...
