Morgan:14

Morgan's birthday pics are over 2 months late!!  A couple weeks ago it was a gorgeous Sat. afternoon and we decided to head out to take her pics.  It was sunny and warm and minutes before we left the house it got super dark and windy.  These pics are very 'moody' to me.  I've never taken pictures with such a dark sky and wind. And who knew that taking pictures of someone with glasses is so VERY difficult because of the glare!!! I think our shoot lasted a whole 13 minutes before the pouring rain came.  So we didn't get tons of pictures this year.  She's so laid back she was ok with it.

Dearest Morgan...what a joy you are to our family.  Everyone that knows you or interacts with you comments about how much they enjoy you and how sweet you are.  You are kind and patient and tolerant of those around you.  You are extremely unselfish and easy to be with.

I love how hard you work and the joy with which you do it.  You don't complain and you tackle your responsibilities with diligence.  I love how much you've grown up this last year.  You are no longer my rough and tumble tomboy...but my stunning teenage daughter who loves to do her hair and shop for new clothes.

Morgan, I love you dearly and am so grateful for you!!
