This Girl

This summer has been a bit of a bumpy ride for Addison and myself. It's been nothing but transitions since May – a new baby brother, less time at preschool, more time at home and kindergarten on the horizon. I hope, more than anything, that the two of us can find a little peace before the summer ends, because when she's happy, she's the best. I'm delighted by her smarts, her sudden grasp of her father's sarcasm, the outfits she picks out for herself, the cool dismount she's mastered on her scooter and the countless big-sister moments.
