All day feel good, a blast from the past

Best feeling...and good for an all day smile
....Some days I have to stop and think about how my life would be different with out Gracelyn in it. Not a glimpse of a situation, a moment, a thought comes to mind.
On the daily she pushes my buttons, she works my reserve nerve and gets another coin in the swear cup which is now a 50 gallon bucket. Along with keeping even my sharp tongue in sheath, she's managed to find her own creative ways of expressing herself.
If you've had the pleasure of spending time with my sassy lil carbon copy you've surely witnessed some of her random acts. I recently received an email from Jeremy telling me about a skit on Mad TV, the character "Dot" and how her behavior reminded him of Gracelyn. I laughed watching it because it was on point. Gotta love that girl.
It's a daily task dodging the camera, she's gotten some pretty incriminating photos, that girl. She's actually quite good though! I said... maybe you want to be a photographer when you grow up?? HUUUUUU, No MOM! I am going to be a ZOO KEEPER! Gosh! I told you that! Remember!?!! Hmmm well you go girl! Right over the the San Francisco Zoo.... I hear they need a Zoo Keeper. And… take that lippy lip whicha! ( of course I don't actually say that. dang! )

Any way... I love that kid! She's the best. Wanna know how I know she loves me too??? She tells me :) As James reminded me this morning, she does appreciate me, and she says... "Mom you're pretty"
How can you not love hearing that every day?

Go Gracelyn! You rock!
