how i love her...

let me count the ways:

this girl kills me... just a little bit... all day long.

she takes my breath away.

- like tonight, as she sang 

"the lord is my shepherd, i'll walk with him always"

to her little brother who was having troubles falling asleep

because i told her i use to sing that song when i was feeling nervous or scared

and sometimes i still do.

- and like this afternoon when she asked,

"mom, are our costumers here?"

and i replied, "our what?"

and she in turn, "you know, our friends."

- and this evening when she reminded me 20 times that i was her best-est mom and that she loved me even though she was going downstairs to watch game 4 with dad.

- and like yesterday when she was eating her popsicle and riding her bike,
which she calls her baby goat,
and she couldn't get enough of the camera.

- and then when she tipped her (dad's) hat at me. 

i almost died for reals.
