happy little surprise

I don't shoot pics with my "purse" camera very often (POS) because I don't really love the results, I'm kind of picky about my photos and the SLR while bulky, is the one I try to grab if at all possible. I wanted to blog today about my fun Friday with Apey and since hauling the SLR around down town SLC isn't exactly practical, or fun, I used the purse camera. While pulling pics off the SD card I found this happy little surprise...A few pictures I forgot were on there from when Allie had her 12 yrs old well check last week. We had way too much fun sitting in the office waiting an eternity for the doctor to come in, she is just so much fun, mostly. Lately Allie and I have been butting heads half of the time and completely enjoying each other the other half, nothing in between. I've been making a huge effort to pick my battles with her lately, I know that it's about growing up and gaining independence and that's ok with me, oh and did I mention hormones? Yup, I think we've got plenty of those flying around lately too. It's all good, hopefully she knows I LOVE her, I think she does. She is such a good girl, love this girl, love love love this girl, she absolutely blows me away with her talent and charm and general sweetness. So, I was just tickled to find these funny pictures of her waiting at the doctor's office. It was a sweet little memory of a fun day of hanging out with Allie that I had tucked away but kind of forgot about until I saw these. We actually we're gearing up for a self portait of both of us, but my battery died, dang it! Sweet girl.
