You are My Sunshine

My Granny always called me her "Little Sunshine."  Just typing those words made me smile from ear to ear and I now have a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.  My Granny was special and I miss her.  She didn't have the blessing of knowing my girls....but some day!  My girls have a Granny (my mom) and their relationship with her is just as special as my relationship with my Granny...and I love that!

Last week, the temperatures were still in the 80's (a cool day for us in Texas) and the sun was shining so beautifully that Hannah and I decided to go for a ride on the 4-wheeler.  She was driving and I was hanging on for dear life behind her and I loved every second of it.  Truth be told, she took great care not to throw me off the back.

We had fun driving through a field until we found the perfect spot.  I checked to make sure there were no rattlesnakes or other creatures around and then we had a fun little photo shoot right in the middle of the field...just my baby girl and I.  Delight!

This was my favorite image from the shoot.  I love how the sunshine dances in her beautiful hair.  She is growing up so fast that it makes my heart hurt a little bit, but I am happy for her too and proud of the young lady that she is becoming.  What a gift to be her Momma!
