butterflies and lipstick

Ah, my little Astair.  You are all butterflies and roses.  Lipstick and pretty poses.  Sweetness and independence rolled up into one dainty package.  And though you are tender, you're still one tough cookie.  You will hold your own with three brothers.  I don't worry about you.  There's a strength that you possess, a self-assuredness and independence that is tempered so beautifully with a gentle and quiet spirit.  You are my adventurous one, my curious little cupboard sifter, my happy-go-lucky easily entertained momma in training.  Everyday you ask momma to show you the baby in my tummy.  You pat him with your little hands and give him smooches.  You are going to love being a big sister.

  10. I think the idea of making lip gloss fundtion in a number of areas is very creative - it is blush, lip stick and lollipop.

    She is so cute!

  17. Your post is beautiful and your little girl...oh so very very precious. I love your prayer to our Father for just two more days...I pray that He does just that dear one...And your picture above, it doesn't look weird at all in this post, it fits in perfectly with the beauty of the rest of it all.
