Looking through pictures this morning

for a certain one..

one of Carrie when she was about three,

sitting in her bedroom floor..

where I found her after

thinking...

"What is that little rascal up to?

She is being WAY to quiet.."

finding that

yes,

my concerns had been warranted..

there that darlin' was sitting

with a lap full of

(from her ankles to her hips)

and about two feet on each side of her

of baby powder..

so what did her Mama do?

Grabbed the camera of course...

Looking through these pictures I realized

yet again

how fast time does fly!

Thirty years have gone by in a heartbeat!

It won't be long and our baby will think she is

plum grown!

(What mother would not scan a few to share?)
Turns out the baby powder one is in Alabama.
