"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2013." penny: your Gaga bought you some new big girl sneaks while we were visiting, and you were absolutely positive that they made you jump higher and run faster. you look so grown up when you were them... it just melts my insides.

"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2013."

penny: your daddy had you cruisin' down hill on this tricycle perhaps a wee bit more than mama may have been comfortable with, but you were laughing your head off and having the time of your life. that's what daddy's do best after all. play rough, give a little glimpse of danger, and always be there to catch you at the end. and just in case you weren't already sure of it, your daddy does these things better than any other i know.

beach bums...

we spent 5 glorious days at the beach. we swam, we napped, we got sand on every inch of our bodies. it was the greatest way i could think of to say farewell to summer... though i'm still absolutely in denial that summer is over!
