"I constantly go between wanting you to stay my little baby forever, and being excited about all of the amazing things you'll do in this life." ~ unknown.
My granddaughter is amazing. All of my grandkids are. Sometimes I sit and wonder about who they'll become or what things they'll choose to do in life. All I really want is for them to learn to love God and show His love to others and everything else will fall into place. They're all off to a great start and I was reminded of just how awesome they are this weekend when this one was brought into a crowd of women in a photography workshop. Her manners were impeccable and her countenance was radiant. Pleasant and polite. Her parents are doing an excellent job teaching her respect and kindness. She has a heart of gold. I took a little time to catch a few photos of her.
She's 8 now. Seems like yesterday she was born. It happens very fast, hence the quote from above.
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." ~John 13:34-35
This is a blog circle so be sure to travel around and enjoy the images of everyone! Next up is Kristina Dominianni of Hello Olivia Photography. You'll really enjoy the post!
I totally relate to all of this. I used to tease my now 8 year old that I would shrink her and make her a baby again... they really do grow so fast. You're very much blessed to have such a kind, well mannered and beautiful granddaughter - and she's blessed beyond measure to have such a doting grandmother!!!
Janet I love how you capture your grandchildren and the heart you have for them. I hope one day that I will have the opportunity to emulate that as well as you do. Your granddaughter is so sweet. I love that first image of her and I love the silhouette that you captured at the end.
