Senior Pictures
March 2nd, 2006Rahel and I went with Katie to have her senior pictures taken yesterday evening. We had scheduled an hour sitting, but once we got there, the photographer worked with us for 3 hours! She loved working with Katie and we had a good time. Am I allowed to say I have the most beautiful daughter in the world? I love her so much!
We were able to see some of the pictures in the camera; but we’ll have the proofs in a week or so. I can’t wait to show them off to you all.
All weekend long, whenever I saw a young girl, I thought of Katie. On Sunday evening I was watching a little girl as she jumped into her father’s arms. I cried. I literally cried right there in the restaurant! Dwayne asked if I were OK … it’s not really sadness that makes me cry. It’s more pride and gratitude and love. I can not believe, sometimes, how blessed I’ve been having Katie as a daughter. She has been a joy just about every step of the way. Now, as I get ready to send her off … more than anything, I feel blessed to have been chosen as her mom.
Isn’t it awesome. I remeber when I was pregnant….I couldn’t wait to see what they looked like. Then when they were little kids I couldn’t wait to see what they would be when they grew up….it is an amazing thing to see all that they are capable of and to play a tiny part of getting them there.
hey there! it is amazing…they are growing up. kenny is driving and in college and my daughter is married….where did the time go? i was just telling randy that this is the second half of our life. we have almost as long to live as we have and there are so many things left to do.
hope to see you soon. i can’t wait to see her pictures…oh, by the way, we will celebrate the wedding on May 20th. it is the only date open on our calendars. i hope you guys can be there.
