I cannot cuddle this girl enough. I cannot kiss her cheeks too many times. I cannot go an hour without telling her how much I love her. 
I cannot believe she is ours. I still pinch myself. …and every day, I think everything I do, everything I say…will make her who she is. Our kisses, our cuddles, our nuzzles, our praise…will fill her heart with confidence. Love your children tonight…no matter how old they are. Tell them you love them. Tell them they are special. …because they are.
…enjoying the small things. ~k
Elfen innosence…did I spell that right? Great shots…her eyes, they are so expressive…like little life magnets. I cannot wait to see her Thursday night…and hold her while you schlepp your bags through the airport…it is only right. How I will have to work to keep from biting those cheeks…they are just so delicious! She is a jewel. I am so happy you love her…so. She could even pull me away from the finals of American Idol!
WOW! I’ll just leave it at that! :o)
OH, MY!!!! The last one is my favorite! The colors of the sweater with those eyes and the pouty lips! Adorable! She must be one…she looks so mature! =)
that sweater is sooooo adorable!!!! did you buy that or did your mom make that? that is soooo cute!!!!
the top one, with the orange hat and the almost smile, the eyes that say I love you momma – that one is my fav.
those pics are phenomenal!!!! she is so beautiful! Love your words to Kelle. you are so right about everything we do and say, will make our kids who they will become. xo

I have been enjoying your blog for about 3 months and have to say that your pictures are simply overwhelming at times. I had to comment on this post because that is exactly what your blog has done for me….I have re-lived so many moments with Chloe and Evalee through pics of sweet little Lainey love. Sometimes I go to an old post of yours where you have her hand shoving food into her mouth and I just get teary eyed every time and feel warm and happy that the picture reminded me of moments that are so easy to forget….The way that they begin to learn to feed themselves, the independence they discover in that and the saddness you feel as you realize they are no longer little birdies with mouths open waiting for you to feed them….its heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time…you capture so many of these moments that are so common for all of us moms but are so hard to freeze in time. I am truly enjoying my kids more by reading about your little Lainey. Also, the pictures of your boys are so beautiful too. So very very inspiring. Thanks for it…..and keep it up….you are truly inspiring and very very gifted….
This post makes me want to wake bug up!
