aged to perfection

Our princess daughter turned 8 years old on Saturday Sept. 10.

She was very excited, and I think she had a really fun day.

some things to know about our princess at 8:

She has started Activity Days. She absolutely loves it! I am so grateful that two of my best friends are her leaders.
She has already memorized all of her scriptures - the entire quad, and next week she will teach her group needlepoint.

She will be baptized two weeks from Saturday.
She has hand sewn one million crystals onto her gown already.

She took her first piano lesson last Wednesday.
She has been regaling us with Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ever since.

She is in the second grade.
She is preparing for her SAT's in her free time.

Baby brother is her best friend.
They play Barbies and do each other's hair.

She is incredibly helpful around the house.
She painted a replication of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling in the stairwell of our home.

She wants to be a seamstress when she grows up.
Project Runway called and asked her opinion on the most recent contestants.

She is unusually tall.
Statuesque and graceful, just like her mom.

She is uncommonly clever.
a Patented genius, just like her dad.

She is our princess,
perfectly humble in every way.
this picture was taken last week on our camping trip. It is not good quality, because the trailer was pitch black other than the light from the dvd player. I just think this is an image that daddy is not going to want to forget. These days are just too short, and quickly slipping away.
