beautiful girl.

hi, baby.

{captured 08.08.09}

a little love shared.

through a few smiles...

through a few hugs and giggles...
through a few quiet moments...
{captured: the week before the big move}

when did this happen?

when did you go and grow up? when do you find time in all of your princess playtime to grow more beautiful? every morning passes, with each new day you bloom beyond beauty. you exude an air about you that is sweet to behold. you radiate gentleness. you simply sparkle.

little who?

her big day.

here are the order of happenings from miley's birthday last tuesday. i don't have any pictures from dinner because well...they would just be of one tired and sad little girl. let's just say she slept entirely too well that night. we were gone from 9am until 10pm that day. very full. but very fun.

playtime with casper the puppy and grandma too.

visiting daddy at work.
playtime at the mall.

big sister benefited from the fun too.

a creative angle.

and one creative husband.

this is what you get when one said wife runs {quickly} into a craft store and leaves children at play in the car.

inexplicable joy.

that's what she brings.

a proper farewell part three.

the partial arrival. moving in. unpacking. the views.

1. the famous view from the twelve pane window. breathtaking.
2. filling the new built-ins. this makes me completely happy.
3. little shelves above fireplace featuring mini white vases. and a bird, of course.
4. the overwhelmingly large piano that could not be removed became my place of decorating. you like? too much?
5. unpacking the cute little vintage kitchen. island-ish thing is to the right of where i'm standing. happy dance inflicted.
6. ahh yes. mindless entertainment. thank you very much.
