8 is Great (and Toothless)!

A funny thing happened for Channing's birthday pictures this year. We were having unusually warm weather here a few weeks back (perfect for an outdoor photo shoot) but a cold front was scheduled to blow through later that day. Chan and I went out to take a few birthday pictures and were outside for about 15 minutes when the cold front blew through much earlier than expected. It was so miserably cold and windy that we just couldn't continue. I was so frustrated with myself for not getting up and going earlier in the day before the cold weather hit.

That night our sweet girl lost her front tooth. Then 3 days later she lost the other one. AND she pulled them both out herself (she's way braver than me)!! So then I felt super thankful that cold front blew in and forced us to continue another day because now we get to remember our little one like this on her 8th birthday....

 

 

 

 



Sweet One,

Laugh at yourself. Twirl your skirt. Run with your arms wide. Be loyal. Forgive often. Read books. Write stories. Love people. Stay quirky...and gentle...and considerate. Lead. Do hard things. Make a difference. Remember you are a Daughter of the King. You are His and your life has purpose.

Happy 8th Birthday!
Love Always,
Mom
