Picture Day

While we were in Utah we did some back to school shopping

with the girls. It was great fun, not only was it us girls but

we were lucky enough to beable to have my sister-in-law,

Katie and her son Jimmy with us.

In and out of shops we went, looking, and trying on

different outfits. It was so fun to watch the girls try on

different outfits and strike a pose and ask

"how do I look?"

We laughed so hard.

Last night Raychel asked me to get her up a

little bit earlier so we would

have time to do her hair, and she could make the

final choice in her outfit.

She made a great choice, she looks beautiful.

After we finished her hair she went in to get dressed and

then came downstairs. I just

looked at her and could only smile.

She looked beautiful.

She looked so grown up, she looked

so confident and ready for the day. She is

more then just a girl, she is becoming a

young woman more and more every day.

Every day I look at

her and think "I want to be like her!"

Kind, loving, compassionate,

sincere, friendly, happy, smart, beautiful,

and wise beyond her years.
