Leap Year Lovelies

Yesterday after I got Mila ready for school,

I just marveled at her. 

She's growing into a little lady faster 

than I can comprehend,

and she looked so adorable.

 It was also leap day,

so I thought I'd snap a few pics with my iPhone

 to commemorate the morning.

This one (with the help of an Instagram filter)

 may have turned out the best, 

but to be honest the little stinkers 

weren't really cooperating.

I couldn't get just the right picture

and was getting a little aggravated with the girls.

But later I looked the photos over and realized 

they captured this morning better 

than a "perfect" picture ever could. 

Mila is holding a wooden daily calendar 

that we try to remember to turn each day. 

99 percent of the time Mila takes care of it.

She wanted it in the picture to prove it was leap day.

"If you have good thoughts, 

they will shine out of your face like sun beams

 and you will always look lovely."
