Call me sentimental, but I simply ADORE the second pic. The girls were younger and they don't stay young for long. Sasha is as cute and round as a ladybug in that pic.

Edit: And this pic of her I will ALWAYS love

I love that color and dress on the younger Sasha. Lucky girls with such brilliant parents to guide them on their journey.

Thanks, 23~

Every time I see your name, I just smile and smile. I am SO GLAD that you are here.

I sent a message to NoFuryLike trying to get her here as well. If we could get her, Truman, Hekate, Roy, Big Kahuna, SeattleGirl and my girl SemiCharmedQuark and a few others back here I'd be on cloud nine.

Two years apart shows how much the girls have grown and I like how they're all holding hands in the current one. We've Got Each Other!
