no. 14


last sunday was class picture day with the kids we teach at church. they humored us, with the help of a little candy bribery. {i plan to make them christmas cards. what kid doesn't get giddy over an envelope with their name on it and a photo of themselves inside?} oh, how they make us smile with the sweet + hilarious things they say. six year olds have a way with making the world a bit brighter, don't they!? and yes, this is the real me. the new brunette me. and yes, photos of me on the blog means christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, and i'm making bold moves in life. cheers to gearing up for resolution day. xo. i love you people.

    love the hair! i'm a natural blonde and took the plunge last week into dark brunetteness...about the same shade as yours! it was a bit of a shock at first, but i love it now!! you are beautiful.

    and as someone who teaches preschoolers at church and has been wanting to do some sort of christmas craft...you've given me a great reminder and idea. thanks, marta!

  13. You do look like Gabi...except 11 years younger, 35 pounds skinnier and a lot less grey hair and wrinkles. Good thing you are my sister or I'd hate you!!!
