Claudia is 14

This post is a bit overdue.  Claudia was 14 back on Sept. 1st.  We just got around to taking her birthday pictures this week.  Like her father, fall is her favorite season so she was happy to wait to take her pictures!!

I can't believe how big my girl is getting.  In so many ways she is a young woman, so grown up I can hardly stand it!!  As much as I wish I could have her chubby little talkative 2 year old self back for just a day, I love the person she has become.  We are able to laugh at the same jokes, give each other hair and fashion advice, and generally enjoy each other.  We are alike yet very different and we like to bust on each other for that.

One thing that strikes me about Claudia at this age is that she loves people.  I often hear from others how pleasant and kind she is.  I think she has a love for others that radiates as she relates to them.

We love you dear Claudia!!

I do like remembering you as the 2 year old. My favorite memory of when you would be when you were asked to smile for a picture. it wasn't quite a smile but oh it was precious! I Love you Claudia!
