Fun little thing to do!  Just so happened this morning when I pulled my sons new shoes out of the box, my big cat came wondering around the corner to see what was going on.  He sat down and looked at me as if to say "Hey are you going to give me that there box??"  I put the box down on the floor and almost immediately grabbed my camera for this:

 Yep, that's right, he stuffed himself into a box for boy's size four shoes!  My funny, crazy, boxed obsessed cat!
Definitely a new take on the catbox!

I know I have talked about them so many times before. Especially her.  She is my pride. She is my joy. She is my first born.  I love them all the same.  No difference at all.  But with her, well I don't get to see her as much anymore.  And every time I do see her, I am just awed and amazed. She is so grown. She is so beautiful. She is so elegant. She is so my little girl, still.  I will always remember learning I was pregnant with her. I will never forget the first time I heard her heartbeat while she was still safe and secure in my tummy.  I will relive the memories of each and every birthday, but especially the first.  And as she grew, so did I.  As her age grew year by year, I watched my darling baby girl, turn into such a beautiful young lady.  She has been through so much, more than I ever would have wanted her too. But she has handled it so well. With so much maturity and grown decisions.  She has handled things better than most of the adults involved in the same situations.  She is so caring and comforting to those that should not depend on her for that kind of support. Yet she does it with a huge smile on her face, and more on her shoulders than any child or young adult should have to bear.  My darling girl.  You will always be my sweet angel.  You will always be part of me.  You may live 3000 miles away, but you are always and forever burned into my heart.  When you were a baby, sleeping all snuggled and warm laying next to me, in a dark room I told you secrets and prayers I have never uttered to a living soul.  You were the only person in the world I trusted.  I spent so many nights gazing at your precious face as you dreamed.  Those memories will live with me forever.  I love you.

Every moment we are able to spend together, I cherish more and more.











      Even if I do end up dragging you all over a cemetery to take photo's.  I need something to see how much you have grown!
