Wonder

I am really loving this picture. I don't know why.
It speaks to me of innocence and wonder and beauty
all wrapped up in the face of a little girl.

Wondering at the snow outside,
Wondering at her new/old boots,
Wonderfully safe in Daddy's embrace.

I am SO very thankful that God gave me a little girl
to love, to share, to learn from.

Here she is all decked out in her winter finery -- ready to go do chores with Daddy. In the mornings, she toddles around watching Daddy like a hawk to make sure she gets to go do chores with him. She will not let him go without taking her along. Like her boots? These deliciously distressed boots were worn by three big brothers, and they are one of the few things that work well passed down to Nona.
