You had to say good bye to Cydnee this week. She's been playing on your soccer team for over a year now and we kindly refer to this girl as "the exterminator". She gets on the field and opposing team member fall down.

Claire's mom, Chris, hosted a party at her house so the Lonestar girls could say goodbye. You made her a card and hugged her one last time. And then we both were sad.

She will be missed!

We came home from school yesterday, and I was in a shooting mood. I've always said the 85 is my favorite lens, so that's all I used for this quick mini portrait. Canon was excited to see us, as he had been outside for most the day on his own and was craving some attention. You much obliged and I clicked away. You have the most pure face. Sure everyone can pull off the "fake portrait smile" even you. But for the most part, you simply are you and it works well for making photographs. I love that about you.

If you weren't my darling daughter, I mean, if I saw you just walking down the street and really had no idea who you were? I'd think "thug". But I know you and because of that I realize that you got this from Claire's birthday party and you just enjoying wearing it.

You were eating lunch before I long drive to Roundrock for a soccer tournament. We love "hoteling" it and the whole family has been looking foreward to it. You were giving me your "game face".
