Two... Blink... Six!

those of you out there with little kids, or really any kids, believe the cliches: they grow up fast! too fast. don't blink, you'll miss it.

elizabeth mary shaffer was born six years ago today, just before midnight. now all of a sudden she's a girl, a young lady, with loads of chums and attitudes. she's at the very beginning of learning how to read and write, and hopefully comprehend. she loves school, especially the social aspects, and of course dressing up.

some of the girls in the bottom pic she's known practically since she was born, others from preschool, and a couple new ones from kindergarten. so far she seems like a pretty fair and empathetic friend, though, like all of us, she has her favorites.
