daddy-daughter love

does it get any more sweet than this?
daddy playing with calico critters on the hearth.
i am incredibly grateful for daddy-daughter love.


ella's birthday was great.
tiring but great.
i love to let the kids feel special on their big days.
but i always understand so well, after birthdays, why they aren't "in charge" all the other days.
the little tyrants....
here are some highlights besides the serious calico critter time up top...



boy! 
am i glad she was born!

  2. Those are perhaps the best birthday faces I've ever seen captured. Is she just that excited or are you just that good? I think both.
    Happy birthday to your girl!
