"I'm HOW Old?"

I kept telling Dare that she's ONE year old today. Odd thing...it didn't seem to make the slightest impression on her. LOL I guess it's just me that's amazed at the blinding fast passage of time.

Honestly, I don't think that I expected to have such a deep bond with her in such a short period of time. I wish I had more talent at expressing my feelings in writing, but it's never been a strong point of mine. I'll just leave it at she has exceeded all of my hopes and expectations several times over!

I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of her today and a friend of mine has these gorgeous peonies blooming right now, so I went to her house for a little impromptu photo shoot. I had hopes that the pictures would turn out better. It seems when you have great expectations of how something is going to turn out...you're often disappointed. Regardless, I think you'll have to agree that if nothing else, the color of the peonies is just breathtaking.

  5. I have no idea how you could be disappointed in these photo's they are gorgeous. It's not just the color, but its in all the pictures you take of dare you always capture her "herness" somewhow. Case in point the pictures I took of dare do not have that "her" quality at all.

    Plus they beat the one year old pics I got of maizey-in her winter coat, on a snowy gray day with terrible light!LOL
