so much catching up to do

i have too many things going on at the moment, and can't wait to post some of the things that have happened in the past month. however, today? is just for this.

this girl.

she blows me away with how beautiful she is.

she can have so many issues, and so many tricky emotions to navigate, and she's still trying to find her "thing" that brings her a sense of accomplishment of her own.

but in the quiet moments, when it is just her, with a little flower or bug to contemplate, and a breeze blowing a hair across her face, and every little freckle sprinkled on her nose is visible, and she tells me a little story, she takes my breath away.

she can be silly and loud, or quiet and sweet, and we're never quite sure what we're going to get with her.

but that's okay. we couldn't love her more.
