her name is Lael. and i just fell in love with her. she was shy at first. hiding behind her mama’s leg she peaked through to see if i was still looking. i was. she has the softest curls and the sweetest cheeks & once she started smiling it was over- she played on the slide, acted out scenes from Annie, and played with her balloons for a bit until she was onto the next thing… her mama is diane- and she is too groovy. i knew it was going to be fun when i saw her half sleeve. magnolia’s and lace… too vintage and feminine- it is a dream. it makes me want to call our tattoo guru and make an appointment TODAY! and Joe? check this out- he was in Baumholder the same time we were!! SMALL WORLD. we were in Germany at the same time, in the same TINY VILLAGE. how strange that we both moved back to texas only to meet in Bryan. funny how the world turns. it was a very grey day- and despite the chilling air- little lael did NOT want her sweater on. so, we sniffled and she strutted… it was so the opposite of the way kiddo sessions normally go. they were heading to New York the next day (they are stationed at Ft. Drum)- i talked to Diane today and she said they have been in a blizzard and that there is 3-4 FEET of snow in front of their door. oh, how i remember the days of pouring snow. that is one thing i don’t miss about germany. the snow is beautiful as it comes down- but if it doesn’t melt on contact… it’s not so fun. && in talking to Diane about her images i realized… i never blogged them!!! so, here they are- the Alvarado family- Downtown Bryan, Texas.
