Sleeping beauty

before her last day of third grade:
I literally cannot stop looking at this picture.  Loved it so much I had to sneak in and take one more: 
When she's asleep I can still see her sweet baby face.  No glasses, no lost teeth.  Some extra (beautiful) freckles, pink fingernails, and sparkly earrings.  But still her sweet baby face.
I am so proud of Ava.  This has been a big year.  Big, grown-up things have happened and she is always tender-hearted, so eager to do the right thing, so eager to please.  She has gotten braver, louder, stronger.  She is sensitive and responsible and a blessing we don't deserve.  And, really, I'm just lucky to be her mom.
