today we wished my sweet lindsey a happy birthday.

eleven.

we've promised her a kitten, although as it turns out, that's easier said than done. we've got a few leads, though.

we took a good, long, cold walk-she, her big sister, and i.
cold but happy.

lindsey chose chocolate covered strawberries instead of cake. and then she went ahead and made dozens of them, for us all. we put a few candles in a few strawberries, turned out the lights, and she made her wish.

i hope they all come true for you, sweetheart.

this was a very good day.

thanks for reading.

My daughter's birthday (11 too!) was the day before yours. We had a day with just the two of us (birthday hooky). It was heaven.

Happy Birthday to Lindsey!
Have you read After Hamelin by Bill Richardson? It is an interesting tale of a young girl who turns 11.

that picture of the two girls from behind is a keeper. i love the fence too but something about the motion, sameness and colors in the other one has really captured something special.
