Girly stuff...

It's natural that I would dream of a little girl in pretty dresses and bows...

...and it's natural that she would have adorable dresses to wear for church...since, after all, she IS a girl...

It's perfectly natural for me to fall in love with my baby girl wearing white tights under her dress and black shoes...

...but it would be silly for me to think that her 'tom-boy' spunk could be disguised underneath black bows and diamond earrings.

...but my little girl has never been so precious to me!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love THESE GIRLS TOO???


Spikey and Sparky...
Sparky and Diamond...

They are leaders, these girls are...

...and while they've become a permanent fixture in my classroom (even as 8th graders!!)...

...they've also become a permanant fixture in my heart!

I just LOVE all of this girly stuff!
