I love her.
so much that it genuinely hurts sometimes.
and when I look at these pictures of her, I genuinely wonder where the time has gone.

how is she nine?
this lovely, funny, compassionate, sweet, beautiful baby girl...
how is she mine?
I am blessed.  and I know it.
she will forever be my butter bean, peanut, pumpkin, sweet pea, cherie, mon amie, moodle, peanut butter crunch pants, lovey girl.

forever. :)
