Stop.breathe.gasp...

Don't grow up...

How do they so easily grasp your heart?

A small three year-old with a personality as large as the world.

Syrup dripping from her face, she stops and flashes a smile as bright as the sun at you. Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.

innocence as beautiful as the moon, unaware of the darkness of this world. Stop. breathe. Gasp. Don't grow up.

She walks up to you and quietly slips her hand into yours and exclaims, "You're my best friend!" Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.

She whispers in your ear, "I love you, Kaylee!" Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.

A little girl with two mis-matched flip-flops.

A three year-old girl with the world at her hands... Stop. Pray. Protect her little heart. Lord... hold her tightly in the palm of your hands. Stop. Breathe. gasp. Don't grow up.

Psalm 112:2

Their children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

:::A "pinteresty" day:::

It was a gorgeous day coupled with a beauteous wind, when three young ladies traipsed outside in hopes of a "perfect pinteresty" shoot...

::::::

Hmmm... where do I begin to describe this fantabulous day???... :]
I think one of the things that made this day so awesome was the fact that it was my first time using manual mode on my camera during a shoot [hollah!]. Woot woot!
::::::
The forecast had predicted rainy with overcast sky's for that day... It was really foggy in the morning too. But I prayed for a clear day and God was good... He even brought out the sunshine. Not a raindrop fell...
::::::
So many interesting things that happened that day! i.e- I had the ~~brilliant~~ idea of taking a couple pictures of EB, with her guitar, in the ditch (there were some pretty ~~weeds~~ flowers in there :) A red car pulled up to the intersection of our street and just sat there for literally five minutes or more... we were all already thinking up an escape plan. I think someone said something to the effect of "Come on... we don't need to worry, if worse comes to worse, EB has her guitar!"
::::::
We all quickly learned how heavy a guitar in it's case can be and how heavy a trunk full of flutes, photo frames, and vintage cameras can also be while carried up and down roads.
::::::
EB's comment to me after I had made her sit in the middle of a fairly busy road for some pictures. [with a smirk/smile] "It's your turn now, Kaylee... I bet you'll look cute in the middle of the road too!"
::::::

Note: I took all the pictures of Elizabeth- my sister, Josie, took all the pics of EB and I together. And the picture with all three of us in it, my mother took.

Note: Long post ahead... and this isn't even all the pictures I took, people! [smile]

The night before our fun escapade I had googled to see if there were any abandoned tracks around where we lived... sure enough I found a long track that went through town. The next day we drove there and this is what we found... (see picture below) Apparently that was a very old google earth photo... :}

Okay...gotta tell you the story of these train tracks. I know we look calm in this picture... but we're actually not exactly that. Dear mother (who was ever so gracious to drive us to this rail) had warned and prepped us that we needed to be very careful because a train could come along any second... and one did... we all decided after the train rolled by that it wasn't worth it... I suggested we go ask if there were any abandoned tracks around... so EB and I, in our Sunday's best, traipsed into a small building and we I asked if they knew of any abandoned tracks around and they kindly offered a studded track just behind their building. We were jazzed to say the least.
