Sweet Eleanor Jane


When I was a little girl one of my favorite things to play with were dolls. I loved it so much in fact, it wasn't until the tender age of 12 that I outgrew this activity. One doll in particular was very special to me. Her name was Emily and she went everywhere with me. I dressed her up in real baby clothes and had real baby items to take care of her. I loved playing mommy. I loved pretending I had a little girl.

God has blessed me with two beautiful rough and tumble little boys. I never thought I would love having boys as much as I do. And then.....God gave me a 3rd gift in the form of a pretty, pink, petite little girl with beautiful skin and big blue eyes. As if my heart wasn't full of love enough, it grew even more that day as the doctor placed her in my arms. She is the sweetest little blessing and I love dressing her up in big bows and pretty dresses.

Today I did just that. I pulled out a pretty white dress and a big pink bow. I pulled out my camera and she did the rest. Many pictures follow of our mini photo shoot this afternoon. There are so many good ones I just couldn't chose. I find her perfect from any angle. My boys and I tell her daily just how pretty she is and how happy we are she is in our family. I think she knows that.
