I was flipping through photos we took last weekend when I ran across this one of Grace on my back. I quickly recalled that I had another photo like that just a year old so back, so I scurried through my facebook photos in hopes of finding it. I was right about having a similar picture. I was wrong about it being a year or so old. When my eyes fell on it, I realized with one breath how much has changed since the earlier photo was taken.
- 30 total pounds between the two of us
- just over a foot in height (all her)
- 5 school years
- two different homes
- two different cities
- two different marriages
- nearly 5 birthdays
- 3 boyfriends (her, plead the 5th on mine)
Only a couple of things stayed the same.
- I still love the color turquoise
- She’s still my baby

even though that book makes me cry every darn time….love the sentiment of it and that quote.
me too. although through the teen years the “like you for always” part gets a little tougher. 🙂
Aw you’re both adorable! And you seem to just keep getting thinner and younger 🙂

My kids love that book and they love it best when I sing the song. Great quote.
I love to sing it, but it gets stuck in my head all the time.
What a memory you have to remember similar photos. I like your chosen quote, my eldest baby is 23 and he will always be my baby
Thanks 🙂 Heading to your blog now!

This book makes me so weepy. I have to get friends to read it to my son when they come by. 🙂 So beautiful.
