trophies & smiles

Little miss K had an end of year Gymnastics Show yesterday and she did terrific! It was a very fun show, full of activity and entertainment. She has improved so much, and just beams with pride at her accomplishments!

She was beside herself with happiness with the awards she received as well, and also the performance she put on!

She achieved three trophies at the show. One for being a participant on the team this year, one for the $$ she raised for the cartwheel-a-thon, and one GIHUGANT one for placing third in the most cartwheels in the 'a-thon.


How about that? :-D

Loved it ... and of course, once the photos are back my way, I will post, surely.

more yummy things-

Can we talk about smiles? man, are the smiles formed from a little face that which angel dust is made from?

it is astounding the sheer beauty, and incredible pleasure I gain from the small, curved up corners of a little mouth? from the white teeth, albeit larger than looks appropriate in said mouth, but glistening, and pretty .. to the sparkle in the eyes of the mischievious thinking critter.

I love, love, love the smiles I am given. I remember, like it was yesterday, that first smile. That not-the-gas-smile smile on the pink cheeked human I called mine. To this day, the smiles that are shared do the very same thing to my heart.

to my soul.

they take my breath away.

It is slices of sheer pleasure when they smile that unadulterated grin. Sometimes I *know* they are up to something with the smile. And sometimes, they are just happy.

always, that smile makes me warm.

I think I'll always feel like this.

I hope so.
