365 to 40: Birthday Cake

Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake.

9/366: Swinging

“One silly monkey, swinging on her rope…”

No makeup today!  The sun was out in full force.  The ground was way too cold for barefootedness, though – shortly after this photo, I had to carry the monkey inside for foot-warming.

8/366: Curls

"Giggles and curls, ribbons and bows-

She's so adorable from her head to her toes!"

Getting ready for church and liking some curls…

7/366: Appearance

Miss Esmé decided to spruce up her appearance a bit before going to bed…

“Man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”  1 Samuel 16:7

6/366: Monkey Business

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.

5/366: Nail Polish

“And I could see the writing on the wall.
Evidence of little hands
Picasso with a purple crayon
and I tried to act upset but I was smiling through it all.
'Cause I could see the writing on the wall, yeah.”

~Mark Harris

That would be a lovely red-marker nail job…  These little girls want to grow up way too fast!

4/366: Vaccination?

“Medicine makes people ill, mathematics makes them sad, and theology makes them sinful.”  - Martin Luther

Esmé was *supposed* to have her pneumonia vaccination today.  But her prayers were answered:  *some* medical records people misplaced her past records – twice.  And converting South African to American is apparently quite complicated.
